Hi All, I figured I'd better put in my two eurocents' worth before the end of the discussion this time ;-)
Frankly, I think voting on bugs is a _bad_ idea. Not only does this send the wrong message (if you have a problem, you better lobby around for enough votes) but unless it is balanced out by the severity of the bug, it's not going to be of much help. However, I do understand that it should be deemed less important to dig around in an obscure corner of the engine or a library that hardly anybody uses ; especially if there is a work-around (which reminds me that it would be good if there were a central place for these ; and I don't mean the list archives) What I would much rather see, is a general enquiry to find out what people are using Revolution for (right now / in the near future / further down the road) and what areas they use most and least (XML, Internet, Database, other libraries). This profile can then be used to gauge interest in specific fields : those who work a lot with Databases might be contacted and asked to submit ideas for input checking and output formatting ; multimedia buffs might help revamp the animation manager ; etc. Voting should then be reserved for feature requests, so we can share our views on what we really need and what would be helpful but isn't all that urgent. And feedback in the form of a roadmap with these features would be much appreciated, so that we have some vague idea of what to expect ; and then the lobbying can start ;-) This roadmap is not meant to steal RunRev's thunder in any way when they're preparing a major new function and want to keep it under wraps ; nor is the feedback round per library meant to push them into development cycles that go off the charts. This is one guy's opinion ; and I'm sure everyone has their set of bugs they really want to see fixed first, as well as a list of features they'd like to see added soon. It's up to our friends in Schotland to strike a balance. Best regards, Jan Schenkel. ===== "As we grow older, we grow both wiser and more foolish at the same time."
