It might be nice to keep track of who says they are interested in having a feature, so whoever wants to take the lead on implementation knows who to ask to pitch in.

This is not a fight, it's just a very passionate discussion ... mind you,
English is not the first language for a lot people here and even though
things may get slightly misconstrued and discussions do sometimes appear to
be intense, I bet they'll still gladly have a beer together :)

To summarize:
- The current list of "ideas to implement" lives here:
http://code.google.com/p/pharo/wiki/IdeasToImplement
- Does the list of ideas have a voting system? �No. �Why? �There is no way
to ensure ideas will be implemented according to the votes.
- How do we know which ideas are popular? �Ideas are discussed on the
mailing list.
- Can anyone suggest new ideas? �Abso-freakin-lutely!

So I guess the only thing that may need to be elaborated a bit further is
how an idea that has been discussed on the mailing list (e.g. native
windows) will make its way to the list of "ideas to implement" and everyone
can happily look forward to start the weekend with a beer in hand and smile
on their face :)
