Upcoming.org Suggestion Board

Have a suggestion to make Upcoming better? Use our new Suggestion Board to pitch ideas, vote and comment on others, and get notified when we do your bidding.

The Yahoo! Autos team recently announced their Tango Suggestion Boards, a way for community members to collaborate with developers on improving the sites they use. Inspired by Digg, anyone could suggest new features and vote on them. A quick glance at the most popular Autos suggestions show some great ideas surfacing, along with a couple frustrating bugs. We asked the Autos team if we could get in on this, and within minutes, they were done.

So, welcome to the new Upcoming Suggestion Board! We'll be reviewing and answering every suggestion every day, so make yourself heard.

You might have noticed that we've also removed the wiki, which we previously used for suggestions and bug reports. While wikis are great for documentation, we quickly learned they're far from ideal for bug reporting, suggestions, or discussion. Reviewing and responding to your comments was nearly impossible as the site grew. Plus, we were tired of dealing with wiki spam, so we decided to take a snapshot for historical reference and shut it down. We've moved some of the most important pages into the Help and Services section, but if there's anything you miss, let us know. (For reference, here are the outdated suggestion box, bug reports, and gripes pages.)

Finally, in the new-feature-that-nobody-ever-requested section, we've also pulled together a page about the team, giving you a glimpse into the sordid lives of the Upcoming crew. (Stalkers, apply here!)
