About future major versions (3.x 4.x ...)

[Petar Petrenko]

Hi A-team,

it would be very kind of you if you let us help you in creation of our favourite suite. How?

1. Let us send you a list of Top 10 features everyone of us wants for the next version (or make a poll, or...).
2. Sort them.
3. Pick any number of them you think will be OK for the next version.
4. Give us a list of them together with the options included for every feature, so we can discuss if some of them is missing or need any improvement.

This way:

1. We can be involved into the development proces even deeper.
2. We can be sure that we can get tools we need most in the new version.
3. You can gain a more loyalty customers.
4. Everybody will be happy.

The features that the developers think will be “OK for the next version” may not overlap at all with your list of the features that you “need most”.

You missed this:
2. Sort them > means they will sort all our suggestions and

3. they will pick up from the sorted list first "n" of features by their choice.

So maybe there will be something mine or maybe not, but the most needed from all of us, for sure.

[the] first "n" of features by their choice

The first “n” features will either be their choice (which may not match our choices) or our choice (which may not be “OK for the next version” according to the developers’ criteria). However, it does sound like a good starting point.

There is always possibility they give us their list instead of ours.
