How to Request a Feature

AngeloC · #1 (**permalink**) 04-29-2009, 11:08 PM

In order to both make sure entering your feature ideas is as easy as possible, and allow you to express your approval of existing ideas, we have just now made available an entirely new system to you.

This system requires a quick registration (or use your OpenID such as from Google Mail or Facebook), and then you will be allocated "points", which you can spend on creating new features, or voting on things others have posted. This process will also allow you to comment on existing ideas, and reinforce the feature as a result. Using this new system, we can get a better idea of what feature requests are popular/greatly desired, and continue our approach of developing the product for you. Your points will be returned as features are accepted and implemented, and we've taken the first step of seeding some 130+ features that are already existing in our older system.

Further, you will receive a status list from the system which will automatically keep you informed of relevant features. I will post more here in a follow up, but the site itself should be fairly self-explanatory. Any questions on it? Please let me know here, and enjoy.

I'd just like to point out that site performs VERY strangely when searching if JavaScript is not enabled for the third-party script sites.
(I use the NoScript plugin in FireFox, fyi.)

Thanks,
Barry

Can some people throw some points/votes at DHCP Options?

This was discussed on the forum a while back with a lot of support, however because it's not on the front page of voting site, it's missing out on votes I believe. (Search for DHCP).

Page also behaves oddly if someone allocates points whilst browsing to Next Page... It reorders on the fly which makes navigating the list tricky.

Hi, I see in your signature that you have a 50 IP Home license, how do you acheive this? Thanks

Hi,
I received it by being a beta tester...

Active beta testers for the current beta will receive 25-ip or 50-ip licenses.

Needs a moderator to go through an merge duplicated entires. I spent an hour reviewing alot of entries and updating my voting and found a number that are very similar and should be merged.

Being home from work on sick leave finds me a little bored, with some time on my hands today.

Hi Ian

I've already proposed a new system of moderating and closing the dup/invalid threads. Let's hope that Angelo will bring it forward because it will definitely help

Logging it today on the Astaro feature portal I've noticed 11 accepted ideas with status "planned" so I am guessing the Team is working on something
