Wish List - sub forum?

Post by cappy »

Should there be a separate sub forum for a Wish List?
I only have 1 suggestion at the moment, and I know it's been mentioned in other posts.

However, I don't know if SM is formally monitoring/accepting change requests/feature requests at the moment.

What do you think?

I could be wrong, but I think grsbanks is acting as Michael and David's ear to the ground.

You're absolutely right :)

As a general rule of thumb, the idea is to keep patches to Free42 to a minimum. Some patching has been necessary to drive the hardware. If a feature that people are showing an interest in is going to require a patch to Free42 then the chances are that it's not going to happen.
There are only 10 kinds of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who do not.

I see. Well I'm new here, so I don't know who is who.

I'm not actually referring to changing Free42, I'm referring to functionality that is unique to the DM42.
Of course, any changes that are unique to the DM42 may actually require patching Free42, and that is risky.

As mentioned in another thread already, I vote for a separate sub-forum for such wishes, i.e. for features beyond the present function set of the 42. This may become a pool wherein SM may fish for a hypothetical future calculator ... ;)

Who has admin rights to create Sub Forums? Gsrbanks, or only Michael and David?
