With voting for the Sierra 7.1 ballot underway, members of the Sierra MEEP Workgoup have noticed an uptick of activity around a number of Idea Exchange items on the ballot. While we hope that Sierra’s user community continues to weigh in on existing feature suggestions & contribute new ones year-round, & we thought we’d experiment with a monthly summary of new ideas with direct links to their entry on Idea Exchange.
We’re beginning with ideas submitted in July, or since our last export of ideas for potential inclusion in the 7.1 enhancement ballot, & we’ll share future posts on this same thread.
