Some statistics

[denise]

I was doing some administrative work in the community this morning, and I figured I would run some numbers while I was at it!

Total submitted suggestions: 614
Total processed suggestions: 506
Total not-yet-processed suggestions: 108
Total rejected suggestions: 116 (18% of total, 22% of processed)
Total moved-into-Bugzilla suggestions: 344 (56% of total, 67% of processed)
Total implemented suggestions: 126 (21% of total, 25% of processed)
Total moved-into-Bugzilla, not yet implemented suggestions: 218 (36% of total, 43% of processed)

Thanks to everybody who's submitted a suggestion so far! And thanks, especially, to those of you who spend time reading, thinking about, and commenting on suggestions to make them as good as they can be before we move them over to Bugzilla for implementation. Part of why I love using Dreamwidth so much is all the little improvements that we've been making for usability, and a lot of those either came through Suggestions or were influenced by something that someone suggested. We are totally doing an awesome job. :)

Can I ask a question about when to use suggestions, actually? Sometimes I see something which isn't exactly a bug that doesn't seem like a suggestion, per se. For example, the collapse/expand arrows on the profile page are inaccessible. Is that a bug, and something I should just put into bugzilla directly? Or is that a new feature, and therefore something I should put in the suggestions page?

(Also, seriously? We've implemented 21% of the total suggestions? HOW AWESOME ARE WE?)

Hm, inaccessible how?

Personally, I consider 'something is inaccessible' as a bug. If some of our users can't use it, it's a bug! (Assuming the reason for why they can't use it isn't "using an unsupported browser" like IE6, I mean.) So, that I'd put into Bugzilla directly, especially if you have a suggested fix.

they aren't selectable via keyboard. (As a counter example, the collapse/expand arrows in the reading list cut tag expanders are selectable via keyboard.)

And thank you! I will try to come up with suggested fixes as I put things into bugzilla. :-)

Back in the day (like, last year) I took half the suggestions people had made to your post before there was a form to fill out, and entered them -- very slowly, I admit -- into an online spreadsheet. I never heard if the other half got assigned and filled in. Did any of those old suggestions get counted?

[denise]

I am pretty sure that most of them did! I've been meaning to go back over that post and check, though.

So cool.
