Lee:

I sure know how easy it is to misread motive and intent in an email 
message, but I have to say that I took some of your comments to Joe in 
much the same way he appeared to take them based on his questions.

I think that youve done a pretty good job of being clear about your 
intent at this point.

Now for the root issue... Lets say I want to enhance hylafax some way, 
but lets also say I dont know how (or lets say that I havent got time to 
learn for the next couple of months due to my current workload.)

Lets also say that I send in an enhancement request.  Lets further say 
that someone else on this list has already done what I want to do and it 
isnt hard.

How do we get together?

The wiki doesnt have a spot for enhancement requests, or a way to vote 
on which enhancements might be the most useful.

so we use this list as a way for two people on it to discuss some 
particular aspect of hylafax and what they want to do about it.

I would suggest that the best way to handle this is with the wiki.  user 
modified comments might drive a priority scoring system, maybe an online 
poll or something.

I wouldnt submit a patch or a fix for a problem I reported unless I had 
a chance to test it. And the chances of me testing any hylafax bugs any 
time soon are slim to none.

Just a thought, Im sure many of us would be willing to vote on which 
features to implement first.
