What's your idea?
I think we should aim to AJAXify as many form submissions as possible. Right now Drupal.org has some great functionality, but not so much in interactivity. The Form API provides an excellent AJAX framework that can be used to AJAXify pretty much every form on the system.
What are the benefits?
Improved user experience, less load on the server due to less full page loads, and a better example of what is possible with Drupal.
What are the risks?
I can't think of any. Maybe someone else can.
How can we measure the impact of this idea? (metrics)
Survey users?
Who directly benefits from / will use this improvement? (target audiences)
Every user of Drupal.org.
Are additional resources available for discovery/implementation? (volunteer effort, financial backing, etc.)
It will require developers who know how to work effectively with the Form API to Ajaxify the forms.

I've actually already been intending to contribute to some of this, for example AJAXifying the comment form. Then I found out about this group today, so I thought I would post this.
