Hi,
Now and then I run into issues which is high priority for me but understandably not on the top of the list for Excito.
What I do now is to do my own hacks and share as much as possible here or on the wiki. The issue is that when installing updates from Excito the changes I have done some times gets lost and I have to re-do them again and again and again.
Excito: Would it be possible for a single person or groups of persons to
* pitch a functionality to you
* have you say; if you give us well tested code we will add it into the next official release
* receive functional and test requirements from you that we must fulfil
If my understanding is correct one of your goals is to have the Web UI as simple as possible so that low-medium knowledge people should be able to use the Excito B3 without getting put of by a lot of "advanced" and "obscure" features and settings. I respect and understand this goal.
To allow more advanced settings and functionality maybe it would be possible to have a part of the web UI dedicated to the advanced and not main stream stuff or possible a totally different web UI with the advanced stuff that you do not want to bother the majority of the users with?
* Is this something Excito would be interested in?
* Would other people be interested in doing this?
For me it would result in more work right now but I would get it back in the long run.
