Question

I put in a feature request. A tag was added, "status-proposed" and someone from Fog Creek put a kiwi logo and a case number at the bottom. What's that for?

Answer 1

The kiwi has shown up on your feature request to let you (and us... and future visitors) know the Fog Creek case number.

We have always tracked feature requests carefully and are happy to now have a tool (this FogBugz Knowledge Exchange) to help you see what ideas has been filed and what their statuses are.

We use various tags starting with status- to indicate to you where your request is in our queue.

• status-proposed - Let's see what the community thinks. If the case gets votes, it will go to review.
• status-under-review - It's clear this is something that could add value. We just need to assess the difficulty of implementation versus the value added. If it's too hard, we'll probably say so.
• status-filed - This clearly would add value, and is reasonable with respect to value-for-effort. We've filed it for possible future implementation.
• status-completed - The case has been implemented or fixed.

If you have strong feelings about the current status of your favorite feature request, please call us with the case number from the post and let us know. We do our best to use the information from this site as a (partial) guide for how to best spend our development resources, but we know it's not perfect.
