UserVoice or similar

Post by david_navigator »

Is any one aware of a uservoice type of solution that integrates with Mantis ?
For those that haven't come across it, Uservoice allows users to suggest new features for your software and then allows other users to vote up or down the idea.
Here's it in use by a hosting company we use for email
http://ideas.pscs.co.uk/forums/62615-vp ... rvoice.com

Something like this integrated into Mantis seems to me like a wonderful idea - my users could suggest new feature and vote on them, then the ones I accept could be automatically entered into Mantis whilst the original idea record gets updated to show the idea's progress through the development system.

Does this make any sense ? What do other do/think ?

regards

David

Thanks, but it's not quite what I'm after.

Firstly, as far as I can see, this issue goes back 10 years without a resolution, secondly it's not quite the same thing as I was thinking about.

I really wanted something which is a level above Mantis, i.e something which lets customers suggest enhancements or new features and then vote on them.
The moderator of such a system would then be able to comment on an issue to suggest why it wouldn't work or can't be implimented or, the moderator can create a link from the issue to mantis if the idea is accepted.
This would show the users of such a system that the idea is now being worked on and the system would be able to report back to the user when certain milestones had been reached, such as a release version number being assigned or released.

I don't want my customers to be able to post to mantis nor even see the issues in there. The most I want them to have is guest access to the Roadmap and Changelog pages.

git.mantisforge.org is not under control of the MantisBT team

I tried to contact the developer who is hosting the site
