...where you can vote on proposed features/fixes as well as add new items. See last week's meeting notes at [[Community Meeting Agenda 9 February 2010]] for instructions to view the backlog. Note that this solution is an interim solution (and as such is less than elegant). Long term, the backlog will be visible in the wiki. In the meantime, take a look, add any issues you see missing and vote for your favorite features and fixes.

=== Taking action on your feedback: fixes coming soon to the wiki! ===
Based on your feedback, we've made a number of fixes to the wiki.  Some of these have already been implemented and others will show up this next week.  Specifically:
1. Editing timeout workaround (based on feedback from various posts in the forums): We've implemented a pop up message when you've got 2 minutes before your session times out.  This will allow you to save your work or copy and paste your work to another location in the event that you're not quite ready to save.  Note that this solution is a bit of a 'band-aid' and we're working on a long term fix for this issue. 
2. Fix re-direct issues after logging into the wiki (based on feedback from various posts in the forums): Currently, when you're browsing the wiki and you decide you want to edit a page and log in, you're re-directed to the home page (vs. being re-directed back to the page you were previously viewing).  We've fixed this to reduce the nuisance factor. 
3. Make FCK editor the default editor vs. having users have to select this option (based on feedback from [http://forums.familysearch.org/en/showthread.php?t=1625 forum thread #1625]). 
4. Display wiki footnotes without forcing the users to log in (from various forum posts). 
5. Display the number of times that a page has been accessed. 
6. Create a 'test' site where users can see/try/give feedback on new features prior to implementation (e.g. skins, navigation, etc.).
In addition, we're getting ready to start work on the next set of features/fixes.  You can post your suggestions to the [http://forums.familysearch.org/en/forumdisplay.php?f=1 forums], or, for those who are intrested in more, you can check out the engineering backlog (see instructions below) to request / vote on your favorite items. 
Keep the suggestions coming!
