[QUOTE="Dadeo, post: 636388, member: 27204"] +1 Catavolt! In my observation/experience a list won't get you nearly as much action as a detailed, good bug report will. If you can give our developers enough to work with, either they, or our many great community developers, may be eager to add it or improve it in MediaPortal. Teamwork, and communicaton, is the underlying essence of my article. So the answer is always yes, do report your findings for MP1 or for MP2. I can give you one really good example. There is a great Forum thread about improving the Pictures feature in MediaPortal. The Team has picked up on this and in the Team brainstorming sessions for MediaPortal 2, many of these ideas have been presented for discussion. So that is another way to communicate good ideas. Start a Forum Thread for a specific issue and if many users respond and contribute, the Team will pay attention. The Team tries to respond to the community the best they can with the resources/time available. One of the major goals, particularly for MP 1.1.0, as requested by users, was to improve stability. So that is what the Team concentrated on. Although I personally agree with you beowulf about our user interface, just look at the bug reports, or forum posts in general. Users request far more fixes and improvements to TV than to GUI issues! Unfortunately, that means our GUI has imo fallen a bit behind. And when we look at XBMC who put most of their energy into their GUI, we are annoyed at their success. But we only have ourselves to blame, because we just moan and bitch and don't report things. I am as guilty of that as anyone! The point is, if we want the Team to work more on GUI, a majority of users have to start reporting those issues. You can't assume the Team magically knows everything. [/QUOTE]
