I don't think anyone is stopping anyone from putting together design
plans. By all means, do so. The wiki is available if you'd like to put
together some estimates of what software and hardware requirements will
be. The only problem is that after you've done that we're still not sure
if we'll have the hw or the money available to make your designs happen.
If you're okay with that then please, do start drawing them up. If you
have other ideas on things we need but might not have the resources for
right now, bring them up. There's room for this sort of thing, I think.
