We need a space for users to post their ideas for development
A space called "Ideas for Development" or something of that nature so that users can post their ideas there and get votes, comments, and feedback. Without the space ideas like that will either clutter up other spaces or just not be posted.
What if the space was just "development"? Then if @phil.bobo makes an announcement about a new beta release, etc., it could be added as an article in the "development" space.
Just so the space isn't limited to ideas, but could include articles and questions, as long as the topic pertains to development, rather than to Help or General Discussion.
I think that is what the different post types would accomplish. An article is a general announcement, a question is a question pertaining to development (does the next release have a scheduled date yet? for example), and an idea is a development idea or request.
Each of these different kind of posts gets a special icon next to it in the Space's list view, so you know what each is.
Yes, the icons are different but they would still be mixed up in the same space. As a separate space you would get more of a list of ideas type of view that would be hard to achieve if other types of posts were mixed in.
That said, I'm not the guy in charge of doing all this and it may be a lot more work than I'm aware of. Also, I am aware of the problem that would be created by having too many spaces and I realize that separating ideas for dev and announcments by dev might cause more problems in that area than it solves in another.
We could start with just a Development space, and if it gets hectic, we could split it out into different sections. I don't think it would though. I think a single Development space would work fine.
I think a dedicated "Known Bug List" would be an excellent idea (which I have asked for about 10 years ago for the first time), if we can somehow make it accessible to (select) distributors and users under current maintenance only.
In general a user is spending a lot of time to experiment with something, before reporting that as a bug. He could save this time by just looking into the know bug list to see, if it has been reported already.
I have two actual users in Germany, who told me they won't spend any time on exploring or reporting bugs unless they have a list of known bugs, which is very understandable to me: Who likes to spend time on doing the same work over and over again?
So, thinking like an economist, it would be nice if people had to use reputation points to up-vote an idea. This would prevent people from just automatically up-voting everything that sounds like a good idea. Rather, it would actually make them say, hey, this feature is so important, I'm willing to spend my hard earned reputation on a vote for it. This would make the number of votes on a feature much more meaningful in my opinion. Obviously such a feature has to be part of the answers platform, but anyway, an idea. @Ben Wilson or @Paul Toone, put it in.
This article indicates, under the Configuring Voting heading, that we can control how much reputation you gain or lose when you up and down vote content. So it is something we can tweak if necessary.
