Starting today, we’re officially retiring the “Feature Request” threads that have been open in each product forum pretty much since the plugins launched. Let’s not understate the value of these threads…we got some fantastic feedback and have logged literally dozens of issues in our ticket system. A good number of these requests have formed the basis for The Events Calendar 3.0 and the add-on releases that are planned for its lifecycle.
We’re not shutting down any future discussion on feature requests…far from it, in fact. Instead we’ve created a dedicated UserVoice page for feature ideas, specifically to collect your suggestions and to better gauge community interest in them. This new approach is useful for a few of reasons:
Anyone can offer their feedback, not just paying/PRO customers.
Good ideas can be “voted up,” giving a comprehensive picture of what features are most in demand and allowing us to prioritize resources accordingly.
Beyond just soliciting ideas for enhancements to existing products, this gives users a place to suggest anything events-related...even if it’s an entirely new product suggestion. No idea is too big — or for that matter, too small.
We’re excited to hear your ideas. All we ask, as part of this, is that feature requests be kept to the UserVoice site and no longer be posted as new threads here on the forum. We promise we’ll listen and engage with your feedback, and that no requests will be falling on deaf ears. Now is your chance to help drive the product development cycle forward…so let the ideas flow!
