Let
me clarify our stance on the matter.
First
things first:
-
the Oxwall Foundation is a non-profit unincorporated organization
with limited human resources
-
Oxwall software still lacks some fundamental features that are
currently in development
-
Our community and demand of various individual features are rapidly
growing
Yet,
even in the face of all this, we do our best to timely release major
essential features.
We
developed a flexible and easy to use PHP/MySQL software platform for
everyone to extend its functionality by developing new plugins.
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,
please, add your suggestions on uservoice

I realise that oxwall is a small, non-profit, however one cannot use that as an excuse for why basic stuff isn't available, particularly when you have a community of thousands. Wall.fm seems to be doing ok - just saying...
As I have said before, I only give negative feedback to organisations I want to succeed. I hope that the oxwall team does not take offence and takes all my feedback constructively.
