99.99% of the time, users give us too many implementation details on a feature request. Usually we want to know what you want, and not how you want it done. Example:
Bad: please implement VBOs for the 3-d clouds.
Good: please improve frame-rates when 3-d puff clouds are used.
If you ask for something too specific, we can't tell what you really want - there might be a better implementation.
So normally the feature request is what's useful, not the implementation.
In this case, however, I am interested in a proposed system for third party control of airport vehicles. If you have an interest in this, please write up a proposal and email me. Forgive me bashing you over the head with this, but often I get flooded with email on this.
- Please do not email me on this unless you have a full proposal for a system by which authors can control ground vehicles. Please do not email me asking for other features, telling me which type of truck is your favorite, or asking for user-level features. My goal here is to get feedback on how third parties would like to be able to customize a ground vehicle system. If you don't understand the difference, please don't email on this subject.
- I cannot promise that I will do anything you say, in particular, only that I will read and carefully consider anything that's sent to me that makes sense.
- and I cannot say when this will be used (not that soon though -- if we're only in the RFC stage we're only beginning to look at this). This is not a feature announcement.
