good idea.

there is no need to.

unless you're going to be involved in the implementation, there is no need to do this either.

don't worry, it won't be.

i *wish*. most people don't read those documents, many who do don't care and file away anyways and honestly: i could sit and write books of material but that doesn't get code written. just back off and let me work.

no, it isn't a valid question. it's a question that may occur to you, but it's not a valid question for me. to me it's irrelevant. my point in being here is not to molly coddle you into feeling good and nice. somewhere along the line people got this impression that it's my job to do something along the lines of customer support and cooing in a soothing voice. every minute i spend doing that is five i don't spend coding. i'm trying to tell you how i work best, and you seem intent on finding a way around that. good job on helping me slow down.

the roadmap page is for people putting down what they are actually implementing. please don't abuse it for something else like a "wishlist area somewhere else after we were asked not to do it on b.k.o."

moreover, i don't need such a list, it's not going to get you anything sooner (or later) and i really don't get everyone's obsession with having to pester about whether Foo or Bar are going to be there today or tomorrow.

when it comes to panel config, write code or back off. if you're looking to write code, i'm happy to discuss. but i'm not going to waste my time (which is really the time you have to wait before the features land) if you aren't.

if you wonder why i'm replying to this, it's because i'm going to bookmark this BR and start offering it as my reply to people who come to me with the same questions in the future. it'll save me from having to manually re-iterate it over and over.
