==Discussion=

If you want to include a lot of discussion about one of these features, you should create a subpage in the wiki (such as what I did with default arguments and variant argument list). -- JustinCalvarese

With a separate detail page that gives people room to comment and improve on the idea too. -- BillyZelsnack

==Voting==

Do we want to keep track of people's opinion regarding single features? It would make it easy to see which feature request has much priority for the community. -- BenjaminHerr

I think it would be a good idea to do this. -- HelmutLeitner

Anonymous "votes" are rather dangerous, but putting the names of people would bloat the table a lot. Do we want a sub page for each feature with a discussion and votes? -- BenjaminHerr

Since D isn't a democracy (or even a representive republic), I don't know how helpful it is to have voting. Anonymous voting on a wiki sounds like trouble. Named votes on a subpage sounds reasonable, but it might be better just to post a poll topic for the feature in question in the

Dsource General Forum. We could let phpBB keep the count honest. -- JustinCalvarese

But I am certain that even the all-authoritative Walter will be interested in the community's collective opinion of certain features. Perhaps it makes more sense to call it "sub-pages to discuss features, also votes" to make it sound a bit more productive.
The phpBB will probably scroll away the poll after a while, which does not appear terribly useful.

To make these official shouldn't they be reported as issues here

http://d.puremagic.com/ ? (BruceAdams Aug-2007)

Someone who was at the D conference (Aug 2007) should update this page with whatever came out of it.

This is here for archive reasons, new requests should be created as a DIP.

There is another wish list around which seems to have been updated more recently. See http://all-technology.com/eigenpolls/dwishlist/
