First, Todd, let me tell you that your message was wider that the Mississippi. I really didn't bother to read the hidden stuff.

I have always assumed, for any wish (or just about anything else, for that matter), that the receiver (the person responsible) will make the judgement about 'worth doing'. And sometimes something *IS* worth doing if enough people concur with the idea, even if it takes a week to do.

The trouble with using Chatter is that the title (or too much of it anyway) is used up just describing that it is a 'possible wish'. Not to mention the fact that if all are titled "Possible Wish" or something real close, then finding specific one(s) is near impossible. >SET TOUNGUE-IN-CHEEK "ON"

>What a waste of time.  Important bandwidth (like all those conference postings that I have waded thru because "Conferencing" is the first forum) cannot be wasted on such a trivial task.  I mean, after all, there are only about 100 wishes in the wish list now, surely that's not enough activity to generate an entire CATEGORY!  I mean, really!  If we had 5 posts about every idea, that would only be 500 posts!

>And besides, what use would it be?  The MS team never listens to our ideas anyway, they would never listen to an idea that was worked out here in advance, and then only posted if it were a reasonable idea!  Why, that would UNwater the entire wishlist KB!  Another waste, how about it?

>I have no idea how much it takes to add categories. If its more than a few minutes work, then we should probably just talk about our ideas here in chatter, but if its easy to create a category, then I say it gets added. Talking about the future of our product should be VERY important to us all.

>>The title says it all, the purpose being to discuss (possible) Wish List items, preferably to make them more complete but also to suggest terminating any that may be deemed "problematic" for some sensible reason(s).
