Does anyone know how one would go about suggesting a new feature for predictionbook.com? I think it would be better if you could tag predictions so that then you could see separate ratings for predictions in different domains. Like, "Oh look, my predictions of 100% certainty about HPMOR are correct 90% of the time but my predictions of 100% certainty about politics are right 70% of the time." Also, you could look at recent predictions for only a specific topic, or see how well calibrated another user is in a specific area.

As Anubhav pointed out, PB is not important to Trike since it's orders of magnitude less popular than LW (as useful as I may find it). If you really want tagging for per-domain calibration, you either need to get your hands dirty or put up a bounty.

PB has a severe manpower shortage. New features not coming any time soon, AFAICT.
