Improvements
Ideas for Trooth: a feature, a change to how something works, or something missing from a page, the API or the docs.
No requests on this board yet. Yours can be the first.
What happens after you send a request
- You get a reference. It is on the screen when you send, and in the receipt emailed to you.
- A person reads it. The reply comes to your address within two business days. Not every request gets built, and not every comment gets a reply; a declined request always says why.
- Its status changes here. Each change carries the date and, where it matters, a note. A shipped request links the changelog entry that records it, and a request that shipped in part says which part.
- Duplicates are merged, not deleted. The words, votes and comments move to the one request, and the merged post says where it went.
Votes. A vote tells Trooth how many people share a request. It informs priorities alongside impact, accessibility, reliability and effort, and it is not a promise to build.
Corrections are not votes. Information on a Trust Profile that needs correcting goes to an evidence review, where it is decided on its sources, not its popularity.
Who can see it. Public: the title and what you write appear on the board with your display name, or as Anonymous. Your email address never appears. Private: only Trooth sees it. It gets a reference and a reply, and it is not listed on the board.
What each status means
- Awaiting review
- Received and published. A person has not decided anything about it yet.
- Under review
- A person is looking at what it would take and who it would help.
- Planned
- Trooth intends to build it. Not a date, and plans can change; if this one does, the post says so.
- In progress
- Work has started.
- On hold
- Paused, with the reason in the latest update from Trooth.
- Partly shipped
- Part of it is live. The update from Trooth says which part, and links the changelog entry.
- Complete
- Shipped, with a link to the changelog entry that records it.
- Fixed
- The problem is fixed, with a link to the changelog entry where there is one.
- Declined
- Trooth will not build it. The reason is always written on the post.
- Merged
- The same request as another post. Its words, votes and comments now sit on that post.
