Hmmm, well, there are many ways for that to happen.
What one person thinks is a neat idea may not seem consequential to others.
We are working on ways for these things to be judged by our customer
audience. (not in a go/no go sense, but rather in a "should we emphasize
this feature or leave it merely available").
You can be one of the judges as well as an idea-giver. But send the idea to
me. I keep track of them. There was an article on mandrakeforum.com for
suggestions--they always seem to come fast and furious right when we go into
freeze, then are conspicuous by their absence til the next beta.
Unfortunately MandrakeForum is inaccessible in the land of dark routers at
the moment, so just email me.
