[image] DanRathbun: IMO, These yearly threads should be discouraged. It is much better for discussion if each FR gets it’s own discussion thread. … Thoughts ? I think they could serve a good purpose, but not as they currently exist. I’d rather see them be a Wiki type thread where only peop…

Alternatively, have a SINGLE Wiki in each FR subcategory - no breaking it into years. Once a FR is actually implemented by Trimble, the FR entry in the Wiki would be changed to show it’s implemented status. And yes, I know I’m suggesting that we implement a bug-tracker like feature tracker within t…

The most important thing for me is to be able to discuss the idea in more depth- why is the feature interesting, how would it be used and in the service of what tasks. I ha…

I’d have no qualms about having a dedicated idea tracking system, separate from, but accessible to users of this Forum.
