A flood of updates from BMC on many of the rfe's just came in. To summarize, it looks like there are potentially lots of very very interesting features coming down the pipeline ;-)
I've broken the updates into 2 sections in this email: (1) those that are being considered (2) those that are not If you have not already, please vote on the rfe's that you think are the most useful in your environment. If you have votes on the rfe's that are not being considered, I would recommend moving them to something that is, unless you want to make a statement, in which case I would recommend stating a business case as to why. Additionally, if you have additional comments on the rfe's that are being considered, please add them; the more feedback BMC has on what we want, the more tailored they can be made to suit everyone's use. If there are additional rfe's you would like to see that are not in the db, please consider submitting them. Also submit them in the BMC rfe db and add the vendor id in the vendor id field. Progress is being made in conveying what is important to BMC. The more voices there are singing in harmony, the clearer the picture is to BMC. Now back to the updates: RFE'S BEING CONSIDERED: *** Native Java API http://arswiki.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=15 A Native Java API is being considered for the 2007 release. Please be advised that this does not imply that it will be implemented but rather a request to be considered. *** Extended image format support - png http://arswiki.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=17 The BMC RFE Review Committe has reviewed your request and decided to include this request in our evaluation list for the 2008 release.

The Bugzilla app is taking off. Here are some vital stats: - 22 bugs, of which 10 have a BMC defect id - 13 enhancement requests - 62 registered users http://arswiki.org/bugs I want to encourage people to sign up and register their defects and vote on the rfe's and defects if they (do/would) impact your environment. For people that have registered defects or rfe's, I want to encourage you to include the defect/rfe id in the entry in the bugzilla app; this is vital to BMC using the vote data when evaluating the entries that are out there. ARSWiki is still available and being updated regularly, here are some vital stats: - 182 registered users - 36 articles containing legitimate content - 0.87 average edits per page, and 31.72 views per edit http://arswiki.org There is some really good content from a number of contributors. For those that actively contribute, keep it coming; for those that often think about contributing, what are you waiting for? It looks great on a resume to post references to online content. ARSWiki also offers free hosting for open source projects by providing subversion, trac, and bugzilla free. Just email me if you are interesting is starting or hosting an existing set of code. The only requirement is that the software use an OSI approved license (http://www.opensource.org/licenses/alphabetical). http://arswiki.org/projects Current Projects: - Remedy API Downloads - Data Visualization Plugin FrameWork - Remedy .NET Utilities - Data Visualization Plugin - Hello World 1 Any feedback, both positive and negative, is welcome. Thanks, Axton Grams
