Obviously this is the decision for others to make, but in my view I would migrate the existing requests (performed by users - give them a date that they have to make the transition) to UserVoice then delete/archive all existing forum feature request topics.i2Paq wrote:Nice, but why yet another part to vent your features requests?
I have 1 topic with all the features requests already made + 1 topic where people can make a request.
In the start-post of that second topic I ask to have a look at the current request list FIRST and that even is a problem because people just post there request without looking at the current list.
If OpenCart is open source software, does that mean only those who can afford to donate, or donate the most, will see their feature requests implemented? Surely the software's enhancements should be governed by the users, not donation amounts.i2Paq wrote:I think that another place to "vote" for a request is to much, I would rather have the possibility to donate to a certain feature so that it gets a higher priority.
1. It wouldn't be useless if it REPLACED the feature requests section of the forum.i2Paq wrote:Now we (users on this forum) have yet another place to look and I can tell you that withing a couple of days that uservoice part will be filled with same request just with a different approach...., and will become useless.
2. It allows for better tracking and notifications of feature integration, so it's a far more useful tool.
3. It will reduce the amount of time Daniel and Qphoria have to spend replying to topics, updating feature lists, and so on, while also reducing your own workload on the forum (as you would simply delete any feature requests and refer users to UserVoice.
Just my two cents.
