What about not only a forum but some kind of ranking system where
ideas/proposals could be listed and ranked in order of priority and brought
up or doled out on a regular basis... something like that? just a thought.

Hello OpenG Developers,

As most of you know, the OpenG Commander alpha version has been released
and
it is being used by many people to automatically obtain and install OpenG
Packages directly from the Internet.  This is a great success.  Now it is
possible to give some attention to the various OpenG Library packages.
There is a HUGE backlog of submissions and feature requests sitting in my
inbox.  The question now becomes, "how do we manage all of these?"  We
should be careful not to simply add new VIs or change existing VIs, but to
be very meticulous in ensuring that any changes are well thought-out.

I propose that we have some sort of review process, whereby any proposed
feature or submission can be viewed, downloaded, and tested by anyone for
some minimum period of time (maybe 30 days).  We can use the discussion
forums for obtaining feedback on the proposal and use the feedback as a
basis for making a good decision.  I think that this is also a very good
way
to get people involved.  For example, if people know that there is a place
to view, download, and discuss project proposals then we are likely to get
a
lot more participation in our process.

Any thoughts?
