+1, to you and to Brandon's list. I'll add to Brandon's list: the bug tracker. There are issues there that have been outstanding for literally years, and there is no clear roadmap of when issues will be fixed. Quick examples (that I'm picking because I'd really like to see them fixed): Issue 2314 ( http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=2314 ): Making inbound email work for custom domains. This shouldn't be too hard, custom domains already get hosted Gmail, why can't App Engine access the inbound mail services of Gmail? Yet this issue was filed in 2009 and acknowledged by Google engineers in 2010. It's almost 2013, and no followup. I'd like some details on this; will this be fixed soon, or do I need to buy a subscription to context.io/other external mail services and use their incoming mail parsing services? Issue 2145 ( http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=2145 ): Same idea, make custom domains work via the XMPP service. Filed in 2009, acknowledged in 2010. No roadmap for implementation. This is pretty much required for using XMPP professionally; Jabber IDs with @appspot.com simply don't look professional. Issue 739 ( http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=739 ): URLFetch operations don't follow no-caching headers. This issue has been marked Fixed, but I still get cached and stale urlfetches even after setting cache control headers, setUseCaches(), etc. I'm not the only one having problems, just check the issue. Issue 1741 ( http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=1741 ): The ability to remove a named task from a queue. Filed in 2009, accepted in 2010, absolutely no feedback since then. More fine grained control over task queues in general would be nice. Leaving issues open for years is insane, give us a roadmap to when you'll fix these, or close them as Won'tFix. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
