[The Telenator]

General Note: I ought to say at this point that if you have participated in this thread or have been thinking about desired features and intend to post your own Feature Request list soon, you probably have also noticed that we are beginning to elaborate on some of the subjects on our lists and discuss them.

This is all fine and adds insight. Meanwhile, please don’t hesitate to post your list and also say whatever needs to be said. More lists would be great!

I think it was michi who, a couple of days ago, brought up the idea of doing some polling on particular features. I’m all for this as well and believe the time is right. If michi or someone who is good at starting one or more up — either here or in a neighboring thread — would like to do that, I’d say, Go for it! But you can still post a list here at the same time for now.

I suppose just about all of us knew fairly well which features would be brought up here. After all, we didn’t begin this topic here or only yesterday. We’ve had an ongoing discussion of the ‘biggie’ features for a while now. One thing I’ve seen change is that I and many others have clear, more defined notions of what we’d like added to Podium from reading what others have posted on same and time to think about things.

And I want to say, Thanks Everyone! I know I’ve learned more as various facets have been discussed. So keep it coming. Maybe elaborate some on your favorite feature(s). I’m clueless about launching polls on forums but like answering them.

No deadlines at all, really, but maybe after a while when we’ve had our own time with this stuff we can get some feedback from Frits on the most requested handful. Unless a company has specific teams to assign to chosen features, I think it’s pretty unrealistic and pointless to bother with date setting and so on, but somewhere shortly down the road I’d like to hear back from Frits concerning which feature additions he, first of all, agrees with, believes are important to Podium — and its users — and would be willing and able to accomplish and, last, rather than pinning down dates, he might be able to give us an update of priorities and some rough idea of when in the next year or two these might be fit in to the scheme of things.

[Frits — I’m not even remotely suggesting that you jump into this renewed effort to consider new features now or anytime real soon. I don’t believe we users are quite at that point yet. I’d prefer polls at this point maybe, more of our own discussions and some tallying to sum up.]

Finally for now, all users should be aware that the latest word I think we’ve heard from Frits is that the Microsoft Windows 8 tablet PC Podium-compatible build is going to happen. This, as I’m sure you all know, is a real chunk of time and work for Podium to function properly in a teeny weeny place (storage, memory, processing, etc.) It will influence other feature designs for a while. Right? Personally, I think it’s an extremely cool idea even if I never end up using it. OMG — real professional audio software that isn’t heading straight for the iPad/iPhone app bandwagon?!?! I’m hoping and expecting that Windows 8 tablets do real well.
