I second that. The fishbowl is a big ocean and from time to time a bucket 
of water is added and it gets lost. I remember just my DateTime request!

I agree. And there was at least no overview of this is new or this has 
changed... You had to wade through it yourself....

Well, I think that needs to be part of ZC's revamp of their structure... 
Top priority for the community-involved employees (Paul ;-) should be to 
provide the community with a dev tool they can work with well! BugZilla is 
not without a reason so famous (even though it is a monster).
