Wiki Feature Dashboard Additional Category

[Daniel Hendrycks]

Hi, my name is Daniel Hendrycks.

I have a suggestion for the Fedora Wiki Feature Request Dashboard:

The wiki page explaining how to properly request a feature had a link to  
another wiki article telling you what to do if you cannot implement a  
feature yourself. Within this article it never did state you need a  
developer willing to implement but in actuality you do. It is a  
requirement in your feature request to have someone willing to implement  
your request.

My request is have a section in the feature process dashboard for features  
without a developer. Features would be placed in that category after being  
approved by the Feature Wrangler (poelcat). The feature request must  
specify that the feature does not have a developer for it to be put in  
that category (obviously). This would be more convenient for the person  
wanting that feature. Feature request owners would not have to hunt down  
developers and ask them to implement the feature for them (this would  
annoy some community developers at the same and worsen the Fedora  
Community). Instead developers could just look at what requests have no  
developer and contact the owner of the feature and include their name in  
the request, they would then be re-checked by the Feature Wrangler and  
hopefully transfered to FESCo for further evaluation.

I am suggesting the request would be placed in the "Feature has no  
developer" (possible name of the category) section after being approved by  
the Feature Wrangler because this will indicate that the request meets all  
requirements except that it does not have a developer. Since it meets all  
requirements possible developers will not have to read a broken  
(incomplete) request, this would make developers more likely to check.

Summary: Have a section in the Feature Request Dashboard for features  
without a developer. From there developers can volunteer there skills to  
implement this feature if later on approved by FESCo.

Thank you for your time,
Daniel Hendrycks :)
