Hi all,

Our firmware task lists are sorted by priority. Determination of 
Priority is democratic to some degree (Squeaky Wheel and other industry 
standard methodologies). But in practice it involves 
crystal-ball-gazing, head-counting, arm-wrestling-over-a-beer, and a 
healthy dose of what-we-have-time-for.

It is not practical for us to publish the lists. They change daily and 
contain a lot of firmware-speak. We'd rather spend time actually making 
changes than on sanitizing lists for public consumption.

This is also the reason that we can't make announcements of the form "We 
will not ever get to feature X." (Imagine trying to do that with your 
personal Home Repair task list. Would your spouse let you unilaterally 
decide to remove some of them?) We'd rather be optimistic about it, 
since you never know when one of our overworked engineers is going to 
get some unexpected free time.

The most useful guidance I can give you is this. If only one or two 
users are affected by a particular change, it is less likely to be 
implemented in the near future. If nearly all users are affected, it 
darn well better be fixed instantly. Everything else is in a sort of 
gray zone (see "Determination of Priority," above).

I take responsibility for any muttered oaths against Elecraft pertaining 
to implementation delays. If it's any comfort: I read all the mail and 
lose sleep over things we can't get to. All I can say is that we try to 
make the best decisions we can, given engineering time available.

73,
Wayne
