[QUOTE="michael_t, post: 972894, member: 85139"] I had already created a mantis entry when I remembered the discussion about necessary approval of planned features / changes and then I removed it. It is no problem to re-open this entry, but I am still uncertain about when and how a new feature or a change (not a bugfix) can be set up in mantis. Does it need the approval of someone (whom?) or can everybody create new mantis entries and schedule them to the version he/she thinks it is suitable? But wouldn't this mean that every feature / change a developer puts into mantis will be integrated into MP when it is ready (developed, tested and documented) - no matter what it is? Or are mantis entries removed from the schedule (by whom?) if they do not find enough acceptance to be integrated?:confused: More generally and quite off-topic: My personal opinion is that there should be a strategic product planning that defines the direction of the future MP development. This plan should not cover details in the sense of mantis entries or a release planning, but we should have a common idea of where the train is going to. Wether the train takes 2, 3 or 4 stops until it arrives at the next destination does not matter, but we must set the switches to avoid straying around without a target. Thus I would appreciate a broad feature / functionality discussion which should not be made from a developer's, but from a user's point of view: What new / improved features are our users expecting? What are the main problems they face with MP, which should be eliminated? What are our "competitors" planning? What are the future trends in home media entertainment? The answers to these questions would help us to agree on a common plan where the journey should go to in the next one, two years and which route we want to take. Then it would be much easier to make a comprehensible decision on what should be put into mantis (in the sense of: this will definitively be integrated into MP when it is ready) and what should be postponed or given up at all.
