Actually we did this during this development cycle! Anyway the big problem this time around was that we went through 2 storyline coordinators during development, and now the position is pretty much vacant again. It's actually a good thing that we managed to nail most of the storyline before Friday left, then managed to sort out most of the rest for the limited stay that Jammi enjoyed (he's technically still in position, just gone). A few things will likely be left hanging because there's no continued oversight, but it's still quite a bit better than 4.86 IMO.
Anyway hold on to your ideas for next dev cycle, we'll probably need to get a new storyline coordinator for that and it's better if he/she gets the ideas straight from the horse's mouth.
Also regarding committees in regards to the storyline: we had something like that during 4.85 development. Sadly the "committee members" were all and without question pursuing their own personal factional agendas, which made any kind of discussion just... ridiculous. It truly is better if one person is in charge of compiling the ideas in this case.
