[maemo-developers] Features to improve the platform

[From: quim.gil at nokia.com]

Hi Allan, sorry for not getting back to you before.

Now we have one real precedent of a fully described feature request
listed in the roadmap. Hopefully others will follow:

Bluetooth PAN support

>I'm not sure they are really feature requests anyway. They are 
>closer to philosophy...

In order to convert philosophy to a requested feature you only have to:

- Describe the core point of your philosophy: what improvements would
your suggestion bring if applied. 

- Provide reasons to go for it: why it's worth and if you wish also what
dark future we all would face in case of not getting this feature.

- It also helps to know who are you (in relation to this feature) and
also who else is supporting it. 

You have done most of this in your email. I think is worth if you go for
a second round, this time in a wiki page and an associated enhancement
request in bugzilla. We would then link it from
http://maemo.org/intro/roadmap.html and the progress from our side would
be reported in the enhancement request.
