No that is quite understandable. But this will make it a lot easier for the team to identify which requests have greater community support as a want/potential need
Of course there are still other factors that will impact if/when a feature request might be worked on/implemented.
I think the issue for me is not that allowing voting is bad for experimental features, but it’s a little tricky because the functionality is evolving, so there’s no snapshot to reference against voting numbers.
That will potentially put a less favourable light on features that will emerge great but start out compromised in some way but somehow resolve their issues.
I think voting for something that’s being actively developed is likely a waste of a vote, as specific feedback/replies are going to be more desirable/move the needle more than a vote count at that stage of the proceedings.
It’s early days yet though, so I’m not sure I’ve got a fully-formed opinion.
Yeah see what your saying. With these experimental features it might be better as well say maybe using standard voting vs topic voting to explore parts of the features for feedback once a part feature has enough feedback points.
이 방식이 잘 작동한다면, 실험적인 사이드바와 같이 현재 개발 중인 기능에 대한 업데이트를 공유하거나 피드백을 구하는 경우를 위한 별도 카테고리를 만들어도 좋을 것 같습니다. 그리고 Contribute > Feature 채널은 기능 요청에 더 명확히 초점을 맞추는 방향으로 바꾸는 것도 좋습니다. 그렇게 된다면 #ideas 정도로 이름을 바꾸는 것도 괜찮을 것 같아요.
We have a separate category for work our PMs are actively building where the PM describes the problem they’re solving, etc. and usually ends the topic with, “Sound familiar? We want to hear from you, here’s our Calendly if you’d like to discuss.”
We call them In Discovery sessions, and the category is In Discovery. We’re also designing an ideas portal solution soon so that we can eventually move off of AHA Ideas.
I’d love to compare notes/ideas on using Discourse as an ideas portal for a Product org—I bet we’ll have near-identical needs!
I have been voting for features but was unaware that I had a limited number of votes. I see the reasoning why this is necessary, but it isn’t very clear. Would it be possible to have a (# of votes remaining) under the Vote button?
The problem is when the last time you voted was weeks ago, it’s difficult to remember the number of votes you have left.
Though I don’t think I need that information for every topic. Maybe the remaining votes could be shown above the ‘my votes’ topic list. Then you can find out without voting for something, but it is not shown everywhere.
