Re: [Administrative] Rethinking the roadmap and the voting system
Is there a way to have the entries I haven't seen in UE highlighted somehow - just as the forum highlight entries I have not read?
There are lot of entries there now, which shuffle up and down according to vote count, and I just can’t remember what I haven’t seen.
Thanks, Nod.

Re: [Administrative] Rethinking the roadmap and the voting system
Noddy, sorting by newest can come in handy here.
Also you can vote for every entry you see on the premise: I need this - I don't need this.
Then you will be able to discern the entries that you haven't seen

Thanks – sort by newest works for me – I hadn’t spotted that
The voting method isn’t as effective for me.

Re: [Administrative] Rethinking the roadmap and the voting system
I just found the MantisBT Web-based bug-tracker through Radio?Sure! (excellent web radio app, BTW) and, although Alex considered this issue solved for the time being, I couldn't help but be impressed with Mantis looks and intuitiveness. Maybe further down the road there will be a need to re-evaluate this, so I'm posting it here...

MMMM Mantis sexy!!!!!!
I like it a lot!! I think that this could solve some of our issues like roadmap viability and we still get to vote.

Mantis is great, but developer-oriented and too low-level, believe me, I use it at work

Not an option - a good article on how a software author considers suggestions.

Re: [Administrative] Rethinking the roadmap and the voting system
Very nice article, Nod, thanks! I enjoyed it a lot, since it so vibrantly resonates with my experience.
Another nice article on the topic is by Eric Gunnerson of Microsoft, titled "Minus 100 Points". The approach taken there is as follows: every proposed features starts out in a hole of minus 100 points and needs to get out of that hole to beat other 200 competing features. Looks so familiar

The 100 number seems a bit arbitrary.
Surely you would need to choose a number that makes sense when considering the total (estimated I suppose) number of users and the percentage of those who are likely to actively vote.
Also, the type of user who would actively vote is probably more likely to have feature requests. Perhaps the disinterestedness of the other users would affect this as well.
(admission: I haven't read eaither of the articles... bookmarked for later )
