Vote: Features for 0.9.9
nostra:
Hmm, maybe. But we should create a new topic with feature suggestions for 1.0 then. What do you think?

I think after 8 months work, you deserve a few weeks off. ::)
Maybe you should do that on July 3—the anniversary of Vote: Features for 0.9.9. That will give me some time to think of some suitable ground rules. I've already got one—no suggestions without a valid, unique movie recommendation. I haven't quite decided if we should insist on some connection between the movie recommendation and the feature request. For example:
Casablanca (1942): As soon as a movie ends, my wife starts talking. I need a Play it again, Sam option that will cause the movies to play again as soon as they end. My wife is not too bright, but it might be a good idea for the movie to restart before the ending credits, and skip the opening credits. ;D
nostra:
I do not think that I am physically able to fully stop working on the project for at least 24 hours, but I'll try :)

It's a nice idea. It could be a bit difficult to check each movie suggestion for uniqueness though.

Not if we're recording them in PVD! I don't know why we didn't think of this before... 8)
Set up a server edition of a database. Users log into it, add their movie recommendation, and then complete a custom My Feature Request field. Run Optimize database regularly to remove duplicates. Set up a twitter account to report the recommendations... and the requests!
When you're ready, you'll be able to do cool things, like releases based on movie genre...
1.0.0.1 The Comedy Release (it doesn't work)
1.0.0.2 The Horror Release (it eats your 1.0.0.1 database)
1.0.0.3 The Drama Release (now you're getting serious)
1.0.0.4 The Thriller Release (Gridview is back!)
1.0.0.5 The Romance Release (append database function)
...
So there's the connection I was looking for! The "mood" of the feature request must be suitable for the genre of the recommended movie.
And if you just don't want to implement a feature, instead of putting it on your Things to do when I have nothing better to do TODO list, you can just tell the suggester, "Sorry, your movie sucked." ;D

Very nice, but unfortunately I do not a server (with static ip) to run such a database. I can't install firebird on this virtual server :(
