Sure - also the wider context of the number and variety of existing problems that need tackling with the codebase is often rather unclear to people certain that their problem is the most important issue we face :-) > Imagine if the feature was implemented and all the full justified reports ... > You'd get more professional users, and thus more people with the funds to > contribute to further development.

This argument unfortunately is recursive; there is always another feature that someone could invest to implement that would get more people wanting them to invest in implementing other features that would get more people etc. ;-) Ultimately if you (or someone else) wants to invest in this - go for it, engage a certified consultant to implement it, or jump in yourself - we're happy to help mentor people that want to work on the code. > Thus, I think if there was some (non-authoritarian) leadership Which is a request for me to dedicate my time and effort to driving your pet feature to completion ? :-) Let me reflect it back to you: there is nothing stopping you or others working on / investing into this. There is also nothing stopping you interacting with other users to try to come up with some definitive list of what you think overall bug priorities should be: that might provide another useful source of prioritisation data for some developers. Having lots of individuals begging in their individual pet bugs however just wastes time :-) I suggest a week or so of bug triage to get a view of where the issues with tons of duplicates lie; the QA team would love that: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugTriage -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
