I try hard to keep mine updated even with little stuff.  I feel like if i am changing the DL file then i should be putting a note in the change log area, it does not take that long and your right there anyway.  So yes +1 im all for it. 

Hello guys, 

Reasonable suggestion. That's what we are going to implement in near future updates. 

Topic was moved from Oxwall Store.

Guys, I think besides that it would be useful to add  this suggestion at our suggest board : http://oxwall.uservoice.com/ .

Can you add time stamps to your suggestion board? I find user voice cumbersome.

allow me to give an example.

As we announced in dev diary http://blog.oxwall.org/2014/10/dev-diary-october-2-2014, we have already started to develop a fully featured CMS option of Oxwall. Which includes an ability to create and customize custom pages also. 
We plan to implement CMS iteratively via a few steps next year. Follow our dev diary for updates.

Rather someone follows the blog or not Oxwall has way to much spread out. Between tweets, blogs, forums and user voice there is just way to much spread out. Oxwall should pick no more then 2 straight forward platforms as appose to having users jump around.the blog, tweets, forums and user voice for suggestions, help, updates, news and feedback. This even hurt the feedback during Oxwall's last update because of the broken telephone effect. Everyone has the impression the next update would be admin panel instead it was bug fixes to the platform. So users had the impression that over the past 4 months of hype and speculation was all for nothing but some bug fixes.

I let them know about this on the blog post as I seem to have to jump to many platforms to keep up communication.

Don’t let the negative consumers flag you for your work over the past few months. I assume most of them are used to much larger teams working on their software and CMS. I appreciate you taking the time to weed out bugs with some updates. I believe if you try a bit harder to communicate that your next update will be just bug fixes via-social networks and oxwall.org this complication will be less likely the next time. The last update was in February about admin panel which as a consumer they would assume this is the next update coming out. So just for future reference toss out some mini newsletters or blog posts about the next update being bug fixes. One news update a month would be a much nicer choice even if it is not that big just tag them at the end with “When the next big platform changes are coming you will be the first to know here on Oxwall’s blog” To avoid running into the people who lack patience.

Thanks again Oxwall team,

  Thank you for your suggestions. I agree, we could be more informative about the upcoming releases.

Kenneth, let me explain the roles of forum, blog and uservoice.
We use our blog to inform our users about upcoming events, updates, new Oxwall releases and any other Oxwall news.
The Forum is a place where you are welcome to ask if you have any questions and to find a solution if you have an issue.
Uservoice is for users suggestions. Our suggest board is one of the ways for us to learn what essential features the community needs. I want to stress that this board is designed specifically to give ideas and inspiration not only to our team at Oxwall Foundation, but the entire Oxwall Community, with its army of third-party developers.

The better part of the major updates come with the most important and essential features. However, to identify ideas of primary relevance we need to hear the voices of our webmasters. This is why we use the uservoice platform with its voting system for proposed features, which lets us set priorities in the dev plan if the demand really exists - the bigger the score, the higher the priority.

The eventual decision will be made based on the number of votes a suggestion received, while other ideas are skipped for the time being, generating more traction with the community.

So now you can see a reason why I have suggested you to use the Uservoice.

For everyone who wants to vote for this go here
