Welcome & Guidelines

[CMcConnell]

• Ideas are better with context. Please tell us why you need that new field, tool or feature. What problem(s) are you trying to solve? That will not only help us to better understand what you want, but we may even be able to solve your problem more quickly another way.
• Some ideas are easier to do than others. Sometimes what seems simple may not be so simple to build. Some ideas take longer than others, and some ideas will not be possible within the scope of what we want to accomplish in the next year or so. Ideas also need to be circulated to management for approval. All ideas are reviewed for member interest, complexity, alignment with our product vision and prioritization against other projects.
• Check to see if your idea is similar to another's before posting. Please do a quick search and make sure you are not submitting a duplicate. If your idea is similar to another but substantively different you should reference the previous idea and point out the differences to avoid confusion.
• Review the ideas of others. Look at other ideas periodically to see what your fellow members are requesting and comment on them! While we take into account the numbers of kudos an idea receives, we also consider the amount and quality of member feedback when making our decisions.

Idea Review

We strive to review submitted ideas on a biweekly cycle. Submission statuses that we use are:

• New: Status for all newly submitted ideas. Members are asked to comment on and clarify the idea to help determine community interest in this area.
• Please Comment: More information is needed before our Product Management team can take this under consideration for possible inclusion into future releases. Please comment further or vote for them so we can further evaluate the priority and feasibility of these ideas.
• Being Considered: After gaining valuable member input the product management team is evaluating the idea to see where it fits in the product road map. Idea may be circulated to management for approval.
• Scheduled: The idea has been accepted as part of the product road map, and will be scheduled into an upcoming product release.
• Implemented: The idea has been developed and added to the product.
• Future Consideration: The idea is not being considered at this time, but will be reviewed for future inclusion into our product road map at a later date.
• Duplicate: Another similar idea has already been posted.

Please note that we will not be able to provide dates for the implementation of any Scheduled ideas within the community due to the number of factors involved, not least of which is our need to maintain flexibility in the priority schedule to accommodate urgent projects and other necessary changes. If an idea you like has been scheduled, it means it will make it into the product. Please be patient and let us make sure it is completely ready before we make it available.
