Community opinion polling central thread
Hi all,
I often see cases where, in the case of bug fixing or feature enhancement, developer has to make a choice about FreeCAD behavior (because of limitations, interferences, ...).
Sometime choice is obvious, but sometime it may be balanced and community opinion is more than welcome.
Problem is that it happens in the middle of the thread after the original discussion took place. Then feedback from users is very limited, because no one can follow every topic, just in case opinion would be requested.
This thread proposes to improve this by centralizing links to community "polls" inside the various threads of the forum.
To stay efficient, posts in this thread should be limited to a single sentence describing the polling purpose (workbench/feature/condition) and a link to the post (not the thread) where it lies.
Before linking into this thread, you should ensure that linked post is self-explaining so you will get valuable opinion without the need for forumer to read the entire thread.
Be warn, I'll be quite strict that this thread shouldn't be cluttered or hijacked. If you have feedback regarding this topic, please send me a PM.

FreeCAD has a lot of icons in its toolbars. So many that for the new user it's a pain to find the one he needs. Also it's reducing the 3D view area. So it would be best to remove useless commands.
To do so I opened several Polls on the freecad forum. Please take the time to vote about those changes !
- Remove 'Stop Operation' : https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=71922
- Remove 'Select Conflicting/Redundant Constraints' : https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=71923
- Remove 'What's this?' : https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=71926
- Remove 'Copy' 'Cut' 'Paste' 'Print' icons from toolbar : https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=71924
- Remove 'Edit Mode' : https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=71925

Re: Community opinion polling central thread
The idea is not bad. However, you did not inform the developers. Was there a discussion in the Developer's corner? I asked around and other core developers also did not notice your action until now.
Working with polls is a different approach with some consequences. Therefore a discussion is necessary if we want this and in what manner (when should a poll start, how will it be announced, how long is the time to poll etc.)
You were invited to the developer meetings and I also sent you the meeting protocols. This is the place to discuss such things. In accordance to other core devs, I will set up a new meeting and put this on the agenda.
Re: Community opinion polling central thread
Seriously? I posted in the mod forum so all core devs can easily catch it (as well as other mods).
I'm done with all this. Such attitude is seriously damaging the project. Over and out.
