Add discussion items to the bottom of the page please.
Contents
Is the wiki the best place for a wishlist?
It requires manual work to update entries or move them to the 'in development' or 'completed' lists.
Is there some sort of categorisation in trac, or some trac-like-thing, that will allow tracking/updating of wishlist items? It should allow:
- adding/categorising of wish items
- any dependencies on other wish items
- a status - such as 'to be considered', 'more info required', 'in development', 'slated for release xx.x', 'completed', 'already done', 'never going to happen'
- store the name of the raiser in case more info is required
- a section for developer notes on how it might be implemented
- some kind of vote count of people who would like the feature implemented
- store a list of interestees who will get emailed status updates, feedback etc.
- link to a trac ticket when its in development
I don't know trac so I have no idea if it can handle this already, if it would require tweaking or if it will not do it at all.

Questions by Users
Enhancements: request them on the wiki, mailinglist or both?
Parden my ignorance, but should requests for enhancements be made on the wiki, the mailing list, or both?

- The wiki, you can use the mailing list to flesh out ideas, but requests on the mailing lists are basically ignored.--Steve Adeff 16:11, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
MythTV@OpenSlug ?
Has anyone considered creating a build of MythTV for the OpenSlug project? It's a pretty low power machine, but there is very little power drawn by it's hardware.
note:
really? ... "Note: Before making any feature requests to the MythTV developers, one first needs to understand the most basic truth about MythTV: "MythTV is a project by developers, for developers."
