A nice idea; however, my feeling is that there are too many places for
proposing D features. At the moment, feature proposals are split between:
- the newsgroups
- the eigenpoll - http://all-technology.com/eigenpolls/dwishlist/
- the wiki - http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?FeatureRequestList
- Bugzilla
- and now, DIPs
What does this achieve that the others don't? I think what we need is
to consolidate all the still-open feature proposals from these various
systems into something that achieves the best of all five worlds.
Maybe this new system could cut it, if we add:
- a space in which to discuss the proposals
- possibly a voting system
But these are both things that Bugzilla already has. Our Bugzilla
doesn't, however, have:
- a standard form for feature proposals (though this could be added
using a Bugzilla template)
- the ability to change a proposal after it's been submitted
Thoughts?
Stewart.
