Maille Ideas and feature requests

Hello everyone,

This thread is the place for your ideas: for Maille itself. Ask for a feature, suggest a change, or tell us what annoys you. No idea is too small or too silly, and you do not need to know how to code it.


How to propose
--------------

- One idea per reply, so others can answer it directly.
- Say what you would like and why: what you were trying to do, what got in the way.
- If someone already proposed the same thing, reply to it and say it matters to you too. That is how we see what people want most.
- A bug is not an idea: if something is broken, open its own thread with the right tags (install, hardware, packages...) so it can be marked as solved.


Already on the list
-------------------

These are planned, in no fixed order:

- Search through the threads, with a "has this been answered?" check when you start a new one.
- Hardware compatibility pages: which machines run SliTaz, and how well.
- A chat room for short messages, still without JavaScript (or not ?). Its name is not settled: the Lounge or the Yarn? Tell us which one you prefer, or propose another.


Ideas we are thinking about
---------------------------

Nothing decided yet, your opinion counts:

- A "thanks" button on posts.
- A hall of fame of the oldest hardware running SliTaz.
- A desktop of the month, picked from the artwork tag.
- Polls in threads.
- A choice of colour themes (today the dark theme follows your system setting).
- A random SliTaz tip in the page footer.

Which of these would you actually use? Which ones are useless? What is missing?

Maille stays simple on purpose: small, fast, no JavaScript, working in a text browser. Some ideas may not fit that, and we will say so honestly. Everything else is open.

Thanks for helping SliTaz grow!

Christophe (pankso) and the SliTaz team

I would use:
- A "thanks" button on posts.
- Polls in threads.

Very interesting:
- A hall of fame of the oldest hardware running SliTaz.
1 thank you

Thanks and Polls implemented!

For the fame of the oldest hardware it will take the machines we get from TazHelper/bug report on https://filature.slitaz.org. I'm waiting to have more data.
