[quote author=UKMark link=topic=560.msg5483#msg5483 date=1369243853]Sounds better than my idea, you got the job, when [s]can[/s] will you start?
[/quote]I can get started today if there is an agreement on what gets done.
[/quote]What about…
Make a list of [i]all [/i] of the suggestions first and then they can be up/down voted by the community?I don’t think we can make an agreement in a thread tbh also we would need further input from devs as some of the suggestions are quite easy to add and don’t necessary require all that is suggested to be actually be added…eg one that springs to mind is moving /%APPDATA%/Feathercoin just to be able to store your wallet remotely is a bit of an overkill etc, when all it would take is the explorer window to be implemented into the client for user wallet location selection purposes.

[/quote]I was talking about installing a general feature request/voting solution for community to make suggestions, vote on them, comment, keep track of. I am investigating various options and will report soon.

How about blockchain voting?

How about blockchain voting?
[/quote]How about not reinventing wheels? Lets use an existing solution for feature requests.

[/quote]Reinventing wheels is really ok. Zero plans to use a test coin for experimental features. I understand the reservations to move new solutions into a production coin, rest assured, no way Bushstar would do that.
Dream away… we’ll deal with the pruning process a little later.

[/quote]Hey, blockchain voting is a great idea, just maybe not ready for us to use yet. For now I would suggest we use an off the shelf solution to save time, but I certainly welcome any efforts on moving blockchain voting concept forward.

[/quote]You bet! As a community, we’re going to figure it out… I have no doubt about it.

So what is happening with this, @bitcoinerS have you sorted a voting system yet? We really need to get the ball rolling on this, to make anything happen! 8)

[/quote]I am still investigating different options… There are many ways this can be organized. One of the best solutions I found so far is this one.
http://feedback.codecollab.com/ from https://www.uservoice.com/
We can use this solution or find something similar. I welcome any alternative suggestions on a feature tracking/voting solution.
feedback system from uservoice costs money, but I can approach them to see if they will sponsor feathercoin community development and let us use it for free.Let me know what you all think about this.
-
Also we can use a free and open source solution http://www.redmine.org/ it is not as pretty looking but very functional.

Smartbear (first link) got me from the first click! Fits in with the forum theme nicely too! 8)

We need someone in the community to step up and help organize all these ideas. You don’t have to be a developer to be extremely helpful with this project.

wrong thread.

[/quote]I think bitcoinerS is going to sort this fairly soon.
When sorted I’d like this adding to the ideas/suggestion list please…

I would love to see a built in escrow service in to wallets so that they could talk to each other.
Say I am going to buy a second hand car which requires handing over lots of cash to a stranger. When I get to the guy’s place I would like my wallet to tell his that the money has been reserved, then I inspect the car and decide that I like it and then release the funds.
Now obviously this will require third party intervention in the case of disputes but I am just putting it out there in case someone feels inspired by it. Eg it could just be as simple as telling the other guy that I am ‘good for the money and he can trust me’.
It would be good too to be able to buy FTC directly with USD/EUR from the wallet. The more people that own FTC the less manipulated it will be. Is there a way we can set up merchant services on this site and become a retailer of FTC?

I like the look of the first solution too. It is pretty and user friendly. I will contact the owners to see if they will let us use it for free on this project.

[/quote]I’ve got an OK from uservoice people! :) They will let us use their feedaback system for free.
I am going to sign up and set it up for us now. -
I’ve got an account set up for us at
https://feathercoin.uservoice.com/
I am going through various setup options right now preparing it for feathercoin.com
One of the options we have is to alias domain to feathercoin.com. Here are instructions on that
https://developer.uservoice.com/docs/site/domain-aliasing/Someone who has access to feathercoin.com domain records can help set that up.
Overall, we are getting close to having a wonderful feature requests/voting/tracking solution thanks to generous sponsorship by uservoice.com :)

One of the options in our feedback system from uservoice.com is Single Sign On solution. We may be able to integrate sign on for this forum with the feedback system to make it easier for members to use. Otherwise they will have to create accounts just for that and we will likely have less people willing to participate.
Here are instructions on that from uservoice.com
https://developer.uservoice.com/docs/site/single-sign-on/
Not sure how much effort it will take, but I will look into it.
