Hi Gayl,
I updated the page with some instructions on logging in.
As Keith mentioned, you can go ahead and reference existing enhancement
requests by JIRA issue number.
Cheers,

Hi Van, I took a look at the page and I don't see where you would
sign-in or how you would edit it so it may be good to add a few
sentences of instructions? I have an account so it may have signed me
in automatically but did not see an option to log out or in..
I was wondering what is the status of the enhancements already logged
but not implemented yet? Will they be added to this list or do they
need to be re-entered on this list?
Regards
Gayl

I've taken a first step on this and created the page:
http://mifosforge.jira.com/wiki/display/MIFOS/Feature+Request+List
based off of Binny's email.
There is probably some work to do to refine the format of this, but just
wanted to get the basic information down as a start. There may already
be some issues in Jira related to some of the features. If so, we can
start linking those.
For some of the suggestions we still need more detail to better
understand what is wanted.
Binny, Ed (and others)- feel free to add detail to items on the list.
We'll need to come up with a process for assigning priorities to
features on the list. For now there is a place to put new features at
the top.
This is a place where anyone in the Mifos community can write down what
feature they would like in Mifos.
If you have an idea for a feature just sign up for an account on
mifosforge, log in, and edit the page linked above.
If you have an idea for a feature but you don't know how to edit the
page, you can send an idea to the Mifos users mailing list and someone
should be able to take your idea and put it on the page. Try including
the words "Feature Request" in the title of your email message and it
will be easier to know that you are asking for a new feature.
As Ed has mentioned, we will try to make it as easy as possible to ask
for new features.
Improvements to the page and its organization are welcome!

Van,
Let me know when you've got that page up on the wiki. Once it's up we
can start a separate thread for open feedback/feature requests and then
guide people to document it there on the wiki and as you said put it in
some more formal tool over time.
A lot of the users and implementers I interact with have a feedback
requests and I will direct it through these channels.

Ed,
All sounds good to me.
The project oriented approach is one I've thought about too. It seems
like a good thing to try getting multiple people working together in the
same area of the app. It should allow for taking on bigger projects and
increase the chances of completion even if the time folks have available
is variable. (should be more fun too J )
The priority list that Binny emailed seems like a good starting point
for a Mifos user requested feature list. I hope to get this list up on
the wiki (if the wiki would cooperate) so that areas that need to be
fleshed out can be added to. From there detailed information could flow
into Jira as issues and summary information could flow to mifos.org,
uservoice or a form that gives the Mifos community an easy way to
express their interest and vote.

Van,
In that first bucket of users in the community, that is actually
implementers (including both our MFI user and our Specialist ecosystem).
Our Specialist ecosystem ideally over time will blur the line between
both communities both implementing and supporting Mifos users, capturing
feedback and requirements for the product and ultimately contributing to
development themselves as well. We already have a number of Specialists
that want to begin to work more on development or have created
modules/new functionality that could be incorporated or shared more
openly.
I completely agree with what you're saying about letting developers
choose what they work on. My wording in previous email was wrong as I
was trying to be realistic about only being able to get work done that
we had volunteers for - not necessarily assigning volunteers certain
places.
I would like us to move towards more of a project-based model like
OpenMRS does - we can come up with a stronger set of projects and then
openly advertise these so potential contributors know they have a
well-defined project in which they can add meaningful value. Given the
transition, we can move towards more comprehensive projects but will
have to spend the effort to divide up into workable tasks, etc.
