I read your rant, tilly, and then anxiously checked if I voted original bladx node up. Thank god I did not.

I recall I read original bladx node, and I got feeling that bladx is not in position to give advice - I recall only his rather stupid proposal to put whole monastery on CD, and "Node Wars" - another stupid idea. So my gut feeling was right that this one is another stupid one - although it was not as obvious as previous ones. I abstained from voting - then.

I checked bladx nodes now - he is really into stupid proposals, like adding "chants". And it looks like bladx is not going to be easy pot-trained. S/he is a repeat offender. We can hope for a pause after this one.... :-)

I did noticed XP whoring, I still missed what you noticed about "people running the site just want to be lazy". So I voted ++ for kudra's proposition to add list of features "under construction" into Q and A section, via simple editing "powered by editors" - no coding needed; and for tilly's and tye's proposition to make development a little bit more "open" and help vroom to add new needed features.

I am strong believer to make all things via most simple means and existing tools, and most of features from original post will be possible to add by manual moving nodes around.

It will be also help for new users to have all discussions about new requested features in one place, so they do not feel urgent need to re-submit them again. I know I was in need of it when I started... ;-)

To make errors is human. But to make million errors per second, you need a computer.
