Joe, Why limit it just to list subscribers? Surely there are those out there who may want a specific feature, but are not part of this list and don't wish to be (for whatever reason) but may still own an Elecraft item?
Where are you planning to post these? Who's going to host whatever website it is? Just my £0.02 73, and a firm left handshake, John (XLX) -----Original Message----- From: Elecraft [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Joe Stone (KF5WBO) Sent: 14 February 2017 15:14 To: [email protected] Subject: [Elecraft] Tracking Elecraft Feature Requests It would be nice if we could track Elecraft feature requests in a more structured manner. The same feature requests come up over and over again. We often hear, "Elecraft will never develop feature X unless N users ask for the feature." Rather than having subscribers respond to the Elecraft email list saying, "Count me in", "Me too", ... why not allow subscribers to express interest in a proposed feature by adding their name / callsign to a "feature logbook"? One logbook per feature request. Logbooks would be organized (tagged) by Elecraft product. Each logbook would include fields such as: Created by Created on Abstract Description Applicable Elecraft products Disposition Disposition updated on ... We wouldn't need to burden Elecraft with maintaining the logbooks. We could designate a few admins. We would need a means of authenticating a subscriber (e.g., Elecraft email list username / password, QRZ.com username / password, ...). Any subscriber could create a new feature logbook or an admin could create a logbook on a subscriber's behalf. An admin would update a logbook disposition to reflect feedback from Elecraft (e.g., "planned for release R", "rejected due to technical limitation T", "under consideration", ...). An admin would reconcile duplicate / overlapping logbooks. Subscribers would only express interest in a proposed feature (not disinterest). Comments, questions and concerns regarding a proposed feature would be reconciled through the Elecraft email list and reflected / updated in the logbook description by the Creator or an admin. Thoughts?
