Hi Mike,
Thanks for your input!
I agree regarding the search functionality if a user is looking for help or want to check whether a suggestion/request/bug report has been already logged. However, I was referring to the developers. How are they supposed to use the search function to find these suggestions etc. in general? In saying that, I would assume that Jerry & Co have some process in place (outside this forum) to track this and we just don't know about it
So maybe another way to approach it, would be to suggest more transparency of this "list", like a more detailed road map, maybe even including a list of declined suggestions?
The other aspect I tried to bring across - but obviously didn't - was the feedback from the developers towards the user. And I am not talking about help requests! This forum is one of the best I have come across when it comes to looking for help.
I'm referring to feedback to suggestions etc. submitted. Take this example:
https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/sugge.../#msg21946
So I submitted these 14 suggestions I had collected over some time.
How do I know the developers haven seen it? How do I know whether I made myself clear? How do I know what they think of it, or even what they have decided?
I don't!
Will this encourage me to invest the time again? I definitely will think twice.
And, again, it's not about getting a positive or negative feedback, it's about getting a feedback at all. Also a "declined" is a valuable feedback
In regard to the voting. It's meant to be one of many indicators, not the sole parameter for working on something or not.
I got to know it via my involvement with Taskcoach and found it very helpful:
