I agree too, at worse this poll will show that Pharo is not abandonware and a community that takes seriously popular feature requests. I would also love to see a progress bar per feature request or WIP features. I am not talking here 100 features, even 10 will be enough to say that we are moving forward. In irc I had several people pop in asking why pharo chose smalltalk and is it not smalltalk "dead" etc ? So definetly this could help kick the smalltalk stereotype from the mind of newcomers and show them we are not big, but none the less quite active and open minded community.

I don't think our community ever lacked of ideas. It is primarily time/contributed work that is missing. I think that you are right on this. Thatâs why I think we need this ideas portal. So all the ideas are collected in one place and you can spot and when someone has time to contribute ha can check what ideas have the most amount of votes, etcâ¦

It is too easy to have a quick opinion that is based only on my current mood. Should these guide the future development of pharo? That could do more harm than it helps. Nevertheless nice idea ;)

I think that if we want to have it, we have to make something simple with an option to create ideas and simple voting. If it will be used then we can extend it.

Hi everyone,
Iâve just got an idea (not something extra ordinary) to try out. Maybe we can make some kind of poll where community will be able to add new feature requests and vote for them. This way we can get an idea what is important to most of people. Eg. see how many votes are for the stateful traits and how many for the ability to quit image without prompt for saving. After writing last sentence Iâve figured out that itâs a good idea to be able also to vote down :)
But I think that this can be a nice experiment. Also as we are promoting and idea that âPharo is made by youâ, then new feature poll is nice to have.
I have this gut feeling there should something around three levels of acknowledgement:
- I like it - I need it really - I like or need it and will spend time doing it
yes, the "I am willing to contribute" is important!
or even, âI am willing to pay"
