@gus: My gripe would be that without any PM feedback, there seems to be no point in us giving these ideas or voting on other people's ideas. The ideas section has the potential to be a good resource for PSC to gauge what the community wants & to give some feedback to the community, but we're hearing nothing back. I would prefer an active PM that provided feedback on any request that was getting more than a few votes. Obviously, there will be internal pressures to keep all plans private/confidential & to promise nothing - how you balance these pressures is up to you. On popular but potentially hard-to-implement features (e.g. adding multi-threading to ABL or adding enums), I would like some feedback from the PM on how important these issues are to them - these might then want to be split out into other threads or ideas. For popular issues that seem like they would be fairly trivial to implement (e.g. "default to no splash screen in dev environment" or "give a compiler warning if a non-void method is missing a RETURN statement"), I would like some feedback on why the issue is nastier than it sounds or an indication of where it fits into PSC priorities (i.e. if a lot of people complain about a simple to fix niggle, the niggle should probably be fixed sooner rather than later).
