In the thread Ray said that customer feedback is important, and user demand is an important factor in determining what to implement. However, some people said that many times there might be no votes, even though there is demand.
I think an other hurdle is, that there are many threads and not everybody reads all threads (I certainly don't), but quite often a feature request comes from a thread that was started for technical help or whatever.
So, would it be possible to do this:
1. Create a forum specifically for feature request.
2. When there is a feature request in the forum and a tracking number for the request has been assigned, update the thread title with the number (an admin, or the NT person creating the number, because users might not do it).
2.b. In case the thread title is not very descriptive, please update it with a better description (also admin, or NT person)
3. If a feature request comes up in a different forum (indicator development for example), please create a new thread (admin or NT person) in the feature request forum, with a short description and a link to the original thread.
4. If a feature request is implemented, update the thread (including title) in the feature request forum.
I understand it is a little more work for NT, but it could be made part of the feature request tracking creation process. However this way it is a easier for users to see what request there are, and add votes to the ones they like.
What do you think? Would it be useful?
