What I mean now with a real example.
What if I would propose to transform the startcenter into a individual 
desktop with drop and drag like the former integrated desktop of 
StarOffice. And I would also propose to make it choosable for users:
~ to have it in the LO-window like now the startcenter
~ to dock it like toolbars (perhaps with a constant distance from the 
dokument-window)
~ to use it like an external "container" of individual folders, files 
and links.

How would someone decide whether it were a positiv feature for LO or not?
Because no one has a crystall ball to look into the future. And it could 
be, that such a proposal is denied by LO but ten months later another 
producer of an office-suit succeeds with just such a feature.

And if it were denied, is it lost than till somebody others makes the 
same proposal years later. Or is there a system to save proposals for a 
later check under new conditions.

That's my problem with the decisions.
But it hasn't to be answered right now. I'll ask such things after the 
3.3-release again.

Greetings,
Johannes
