I had asked Debbie Dickerson at MM a while about this exact request, and she had replied that there was no public access to the existing wish list. She said "It is something they're investigating for the future though, so hopefully it'll be a reality at some point!" Maybe somebody at MM could expand on what that may or may not mean. Maybe this feature will be a part of the re-designed MM site that's rolling out soon? I don't know. But I, too, think a system that you have proposed would be immensely beneficial not only to the developer community, but to the employees at Macromedia who have to wade through redundant e-mails just to categorize requests, let alone respond to them. Maybe this access could be a perk as part of a DevNet subscription? (Just spitballing there, but it's a thought, even though I would imagine there will be a negative reception to that suggestion) I will say, though, that I have made a few requests via the URL that's constantly posted here to the wish form, and MM has always been courteous to respond that they have received my request and are considering its inclusion in the next cycle. At least I know they're reading the requests. Maybe I just got lucky though!!
