FAQ
-
“Great! I have multiple things! Should I put all my stuff in a single
topic?!”No, please create multiple, smaller topics. There is no limitation on how many forum topics one can create for WTH. Each topic can be voted on, picked up, and maybe even resolved. Also, having multiple things stacked in a single forum topic makes resolving, discussing, and voting on them hard.
-
“Is everything reported going to be fixed/addressed?”
Sorry, but the answer here is no; there is no guarantee that it will happen. The goal is to lower the barrier reporting things for one month. Code contributors will definitely join the effort and address a few of the listed things. Still, in the end, the number of submissions in WTH is, in general, simply too much to address. However, we have picked up a lot of items over the years (including bigger topics); it helps us shape our roadmap.
-
"I really want this new integration or add-on to be implemented, so I can use my devices. Is this the right place for it?”
No, this event is not for requesting new add-ons or device/services integrations. Please use the “Feature Requests” forum category instead.
-
“My WTH topic is one of the top-voted ones, so it is going to be fixed/addressed, right?”
This is not a contest. Voting will help with visibility and give a sense of the suggestion’s impact. However, it might be difficult or too big to implement. A topic with lots of votes is more likely to be noticed by a contributor, but it is not guaranteed to be picked up.
Topics with a lot of engagement, of course, help us shape our future roadmap.
