Ubuntu has bite size bugs, that is, easy to patch bugs. Also, you had to implement a feature to show a window's parents in the window like Preferences -> Advanced -> General, but there was not enough time, because the feature was too hard to implement. Also, if two features are equally important, you should implement the easy one first, then the hard one last, because you'll start working in the unmentioned medium ones faster. So there should be a column with Difficulty (easy, medium or hard) and Length (short, medium or long) in the Inbox feature tables, then the "By Associate Project" feature tables, then finally the hard and long, but extremely tasty "By Team" feature tables.

How to propose a new feature

To propose a new feature for any of our products, you must first create a feature page for it, here: Create a new feature page. When you change your feature's "Stage" to "Feature Inbox" it will magically appear on this list. The Product team goes through this list regularly, evaluating and prioritizing each item.

Inbox

{{#ask: Feature stage::Feature Inbox | ?# | ?Feature name# | ?Feature list# | ?Feature status note# | ?Modification date | mainlabel=- | sort=Feature list | format=template | template=4ColTable }}

Unprioritized: Need attention

These are items that have somehow skipped the Inbox and are not yet prioritized.

{{#ask: Feature priority::UnprioritizedFeature stage::!DraftFeature stage::!Feature InboxFeature stage::!On hold | ?# | ?Feature name# | ?Feature list# | ?Feature stage# | ?Feature product manager# | ?Feature feature manager# | ?Feature lead engineer# | mainlabel=- | sort=Feature list | format=template | template=6ColTable | limit=500 }}

On hold

Items here are usually "on hold" until we get more information or details.
