The eduFire Blog

eduFire’s latest feature is, admittedly, a small one but one that shows our committment to listening to our users and taking direction from them. Why what am I talking about, well the Ideas Board:

What the ideas board gives you, the eduFire user, is a way to tell us what features you want (the ideas) and then let the overall eduFire community rank those features and comment on them. Here’s a same feature from Tina, one of our students:

What Tina has asked for is more search features and given us details as to how she wants them to work. Now we, the eduFire team, can also see that its rated as 4 stars and has (currently) 2 votes for it. We can also see any comments that other users have on it. This is a huge win for us because while everyone usually says they want every feature possible, we can see how important those features are to the community as a whole based on the amount of interaction (comments, votes and ratings) a feature has.

Kudos to Matt Mullenweg
I’d like to extend a thank you to Matt over at Wordpress for giving us an awesome model of an idea board to start from (note — I suspect Matt didn’t personally write the WordPress idea board and this is really a thank you to be transferred to someone else). Thanks man.
