Thanks for following up David. I actually just brought this up again in our team meeting this morning. We all agreed that this is a priority.
It's important to us that when we do this, we do it right... especially with something that is obviously important to everyone here in the Community.
Before launching a Feature Request forum we want to make sure that the right people will be listening and responding inside the forum. The last thing I want to do is create a thread for everyone to submit their ideas and have it turn into an echo chamber where you don't feel heard. That would only result in frustration on all fronts.
Ideally, I'd also like to have right tools in place to make the conversation effective. We're working right now to get our community software vendor to implement some features like an "upvote" button, which I think would be highly valuable in identifying and giving attention to the most urgent and valuable feature suggestions. The only catch is that we're not sure exactly when that feature will be released.
One alternative we discussed is creating a "Feature Ideas" forum that isn't an official "Feature Request" forum. The Feature Ideas forum would act as a place for everyone in the community to start having conversations, sharing ideas, and talking about the features and add-ons that are important to them. This forum would operate under the clear understanding that its purpose is solely to discuss ideas openly, and that they may or may not get implemented. It would not be an official "Feature Request Forum." Any feature requests would continue be submitted to the Product Team until further notice.
If there's an interest for a Feature Ideas type of forum, I think I can get something set up soon. Feel free to respond with your thoughts/suggestions. I'm all ears.

Hi Nate - have you had any luck with your feature request with the forum software vendor to get the feature request feature added?
