Instead of a backpack, I use a "uservoice" page for projects that are interesting but I'm not going to do them. Then others can add comments, add ideas, implement the ideas, ...

Similar to Tantek's reasoning for wikis, I like sharing the ideas that I'm not going to implement any time soon

That's a really good idea - I may have to look into doing that.

I don't place ideas in Backpack to keep them in the "walled garden" - it's just the most web-accessible, easy to use area I have for information of that nature (I keep losing sticky notes).
