I have created
http://ofbiz.uservoice.com/
and
http://ofbiz.ideascale.com/
Looks like almost the same to me.
We may create more if needed, or completly forget the idea...

OK and now, who will follow all this suggestions (in short, mid and long terms)
and how?
We really need to use a tool I guess...

I wonder if we could not use one of the tools below to better organize and keep traces of demands. This has been suggested on
Opentaps forum and I think it's a good idea.
For the moment we kept things in http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBADMIN/New+Features+Roadmap+-+Living+Document but
it's far from optimal
* UserVoice - http://uservoice.com/
* IdeaScale - http://www.ideascale.com/index.html
UserVoice seems the most popular system by far. They have a free and discounted
version for open source projects.
Ideascale is newer, but they seem to offer better tools for collaboratively
writing feature requests.
**Open source**
* CNProg - http://wiki.github.com/cnprog/CNPROG
* Ubuntu BrainStorm - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Brainstorm/Installation
Ubuntu Brainstorm is based on Drupal. I'm not aware of anyone using it other
than Ubuntu.
CNProg is really interesting, but it's not meant for feature requests altho
you could kind of adapt it for that purpose. CNProg is an open source clone
of StackOverflow. It's focused on FAQs where you vote on the most popular FAQs.
However, if you just turned the world "question" into "idea" you could probably
use it to manage feature requests too.
**Other options**
* use the
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBADMIN/New+Features+Roadmap+-+Living+Document
It seems like a lot of projects benefit from this concept combined with
sponsored development.
BTW I already suggested on dev ML to use well known Bouties and (my idea)
Revert Bounties for sponsored developments.
I have not reviewed the tools myself (as I said I just/mostly copied this from a message on Opentaps forum) but if we are
interested I/we could give my/our opininon(s)
I'm quite sure we could get more interesting and better organized ideas from such a tool. I guess we could install it (for
instance Ubuntu Brainstorm) on our vm, maybe with the help of infra...
