It works kind of like Mantis for bug tracking, but it is optimized for quick and simple feature request posting. I should however make some notes on how this works.

First, this is not a roadmap. Putting a feature up and getting a high number of votes won’t get it implemented – however a developer looking at the idea and saying ‘Hrrm, I could do this’ will. High votes and high views will make it more likely that a developer looks at your idea (and may influence priorities), but it is not binding.

Second, this replaces mantis for feature requests – our mantis install has traditionally been the place feature requests go, but a lot of developers havent wanted them there since it is officially a bug tracker only. This tracker seperates the two out and recognizes features needing different tools.

It’s a work in progress and fairly experimental (I wrote the whole thing from scratch in an afternoon), but go take a look and post your OpenSim suggestions.
