Description

[alexander :surkov (:asurkov)]

We should have feature request wiki page. Initially I think we should gather available info from NG.

This is main page. It contains only links on other pages each of them describes one of RFE categories. The next step is to create these pages and fill them by known issues. Aaron please look at the page. Can you see better wording for it and possible missed categoires?

Here are the wording changes I suggest.  I changed 'custom control engine' to 'custom control interfaces' since most of the engine providing the work isn't doing it for custom controls but rather xforms controls.  But there are custom control interfaces that give access to the functionality of the xforms engine.  I also don't know if I really understood what you were trying to point out about XUL in the XForms:RFE:Custom_Controls|Custom Controls section.  Please read what I wrote in this section to see if it follows what you were thinking or not.

I putted your page at http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/XForms:RFE. Thank you. I'll try to put subpages soon too.

Good job.  Just changed some wording.  Please review before checking it in to make sure that I didn't screw up a point that you were trying to make.

I changed some of the wording.  Please review before checking in.  It might also be worth mentioning on one of the early pages in the 'requests for enhancements' sequence to also post a mention of their request on the newsgroup so that we know someone posted a request for us to consider.  I imagine that I'll only check the wiki infrequently at best.  Or is there a way to register for notifications?

>* XUL is a feature of Mozilla only and custom control authors should be aware their controls won't work on other browser platforms.

I'd add 'note: ' before the text for this bullet.  Just to make it a little more eye catching.

The rest of it looks great just as it is.

I uploaded your versions. They are fine. Also I changed top page where I asked to repeat request on NG or in bug. But you can watch changes if you'll click on watch link on the needed page.

Looks good.  I would just reword some of it.  Here is what I would suggest.

"... RFE categories and put your request there. You can also contact the XForms team about your request. You can do so by posting a message on the XForms Newsgroup or file a new bug in the 'XForms' component of the 'Core' product. An additional way to attract the XForms team's attention to an enhancement request you  are promoting is to vote for the bug that is related with the feature request (if there is no bug yet then please feel free to file it). Then you can give a vote by clicking on the 'vote' link on the bug page. The XForms team looks at votes to help determine which bug is more important for our XForms users."
