[Suggestion] Trello board as a public road map #381

Description: I think it would be nice to be able to track development on Trello: https://trello.com/en-GB

Currently the issues on GitHub are sorted in to groups of "Enhancement" and "Bugs", Bugs, obviously something must be worked on but there is no way to tell which "Enhancement" is more popular and receive more support and if an "Enhancement" is being worked on or considered to be worked on later. Trello would allow you, the developer to sort ideas (jobs) in to groups for example:

Idea - currently no plan to implement it, it is just an idea Considered - it is considered to be worked on in the future, have not been decided yet when Planned this year- it is planned to be worked on this year. Planned next - it is planned to be the next thing to be worked on In development - currently in development, expected to come later Ready for next release - as the title saying, this feature is definitely coming in the next update Done - the feature has been implemented, case closed

The nice thing about it is that the users would have the ability to VOTE which "idea", "Considered" or "Planned" feature they would like to see and also have a discussion about it in a nicely organized and friendly environment. So it is benefit both, the developer because Trello make it easy to track what the users need and what is the plan, what is being developed and what is coming up next in the road map and it is all public so the users know what to expect, when to expect it and can also VOTE and have a discussion about each topic publicly to hep the developers decide if it something worth developing and by reading the discussions can get some ideas what way would be the best to implement it that suit most users and use cases.

I can see, many feature requests here on GitHub received no comment from other users and could be difficult to decide if it worth it, if there is enough demand for it and I was wondering if it because GitHub is considered a place where traditionally developers have a discussion. Even if it not the case with AGK Studio, many users may think so.

Trello has been designed in a way that offer a common place for both users and developers to connect and share opinions and provide feedback and guidelines in a simple and organized way by allowing developers to create boards and simply add tickets (jobs) to boards and move these tickets between boards as an indication what is the current status of the job and allow users to comment and vote on these jobs.

Thanks.

@ddabrahim Thanks for your suggestion.

FYI: You are able to vote for a issue/enhancement here , just give the post you like a thumb up. Use sort to display issues with most thumb ups:

sort-thumbup

Yes but people also may use other emojis too which make the result inconsistent but I agree thumb up is most often used. But we still don't know on GitHub if any of the enhancements have been considered or planned. I think Trello could make this more transparent for everyone what the community need by allowing vote on jobs and confirm what is being considered but waiting for feedback maybe or planned..etc by moving the job on to the relevant board.

Thanks for the reply.
