Mark, Uservoice does appear to be an important step forward by giving a clear picture of the priorities of a proposed enhancement. However, the picture is flawed because it only shows how much support a proposal has, without showing at all how much opposition it has. I wish that I could use one of my votes to vote against a proposal I find unwise. I understand that the rules of Uservoice are beyond your control, but if you think of a way of making opposition tangible, it would be helpful.

After all it costs nothing to say "+1" to every request that goes by. As a result we've established mlo @ uservoice <http://mlo.uservoice.com/forums/9235-general> as a forum to go and vote for features. FYI the current leader board is: IPad app 79 votes; Calendar overview 74 and Auto-syncing 54. Uservoice is a simple system that allows you to add feature requests and vote for features that you want. Its better than the forum because you're limited to 10 votes forcing you to make wise decisions about what you really want. Example: * Calendar overview -I've given 3 votes, because I think its insanely important. I also realize it will take a long to implement and so I won't get my votes back for a while * Auto-Sync - I've also given 3 votes, because I think its important and will likely be completed sooner so I will get my votes back and reuse them.
