<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div>Greeting to all,<br><br></div><div>I would like to add a few thoughts.<br></div>I am a new member to the community and from my personal experience I found that when it comes to contribution, it is quite difficult at the beginning to align with the vision of Sugar, the trend and to understand which area of development is being promoted for the future. I would pretty excited to see pages like this <a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Development_Team/Project_Ideas">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Development_Team/Project_Ideas</a> being used extensively to bring in new ideas and showcasing the trend we desire. <br><br></div>I can understand the process to propose an idea that starts with: Feature Page => posting on sugar-devel for discussion. <br></div>But suppose we have 2 sections in the Project_Ideas page: 1) New Ideas List ... 2) Top 5/10 features to be developed now. In this case anyone can put his/her ideas on the first section which would enable ideas being brainstormed in much larger scale. Discussion would create more and better ideas to be implemented. This will be the pre-stage before proposing though the standard route of Feature page and sugar-devel and I thing this would boost confidence about an idea for new members to the community. The second section would be maintained mostly by the experienced members so that we all have focus on the future trend and can be the starting point to think for new features and implementations.<br><br></div>Thanks.<br></div>Regards<br></div>Manash Pratim Das<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Apr 20, 2016 at 9:54 AM, Tony Anderson <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:tony_anderson@usa.net" target="_blank">tony_anderson@usa.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
