Hi, Of course, there already is a place to make feature requests and get community votes: Bugzilla (http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org), which is meant to hold feature requests as well as bug reports, and which has a (little-known) voting feature.
I think the ideal place for that kind of discussion, though, is via the mailing lists - semediawiki-user or this one, depending on the feature. Then you can really get in-depth input, and try to reach some sort of consensus about what makes sense. There have been numerous discussions about SMW features on the mailing lists over the years, so this is already basically the default place for it. -Yaron On Thu, Feb 24, 2011 at 2:29 PM, Jeroen De Dauw <jeroended...@gmail.com>wrote: > Hey, > > Following the recent discussions about the roadmap, I'm asking myself if > there is no need for a process to get new items on it.
