Ok, so you're saying that we currently focusing on unwanted features? ;) Seriously though. "Voting" and other forms of feature popularity indicators are good tools that we probably should use more. But we also need to remember that even if somehow half the internet voted on a particular feature doesn't automatically mean it's a good candidate to include in the next release or at all. > Can we install VotePlugin on t.e.o?

Is it possible to configure it to give each user (or email) a limited number of votes? I think you'll give your decisions a bit more thought if you know you can only vote on 5-10 tickets at a time. / Jonas --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Development" group.
