Bugzilla
Please consider using Bugzilla to file your feature requests instead of this page!
The benefits of using Bugzilla instead of this page should be clear:
- Bugzilla is meant to track bugs as well as feature requests
- Discussions on one topic are easily possible and visible in the cooker mailinglist
- It is possible to vote for feature requests
- It is possible to use Bugzilla to determine which features should be implemented for which release and track the status of them
- If you want to see a list of all open feature requests, simply ask Bugzilla
Still, this Wiki page is useful to keep an overview of ideas that have been raised for the next release.
