I am afraid that this could not work easily. If we do the work and select 10-15 nice features and find potential volunteers, we probably do not need voting. There will be most likely different volunteers for the different features. If they wanted to work on them, they would work on them independently on the voting results. The voting is always dangerous because it reflects only opinion of the voters. We have millions users and I am afraid that only few hundreds would vote. The voting would crate a commitment for TDF but I am not sure about the profit. Finally, it is hard to promis anything without a contract. We could not create contract with volunteers. I agree here with Bjorn that this might end in tears on all sides. Best Regards, Petr PS: I feel a bit bad that we are so negative about this idea. It is great that you come up with ideas how to improve things. Well, in this case, I would be more careful. We were not sure whether to enable voting for bugs. We decided to hide it a bit under "affects me" flag. Let's see how this works before playing with voting on more fronts :-) _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
