== Filing Feature Requests==
We're always looking for new ideas. Please let us know what you would like to see done.
 
The best place for your feature requests to get noticed is in [http://jira.secondlife.com JIRA Bug Tracker]. 
 
== Implementing Feature Requests==
If you are a developer looking for ways to contribute, you can find ideas on [http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-1577 a JIRA Meta Issue VWR-1577] which is intended to collect issues that lend themselves to be solved through open source contributions.  Another source of inspiration would be the JIRA report [http://jira.secondlife.com/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?requestId=10362 Unresolved Feature Requests] .

== Refining Feature Requests ==
 
Features are more likely to get implemented if the description of the feature is clear. For a complicated feature, a link to a specification on the wiki is a great way to help flesh out the idea. Articles in this category should be well developed and should be a secondary resource for feature requests already in JIRA. Make sure that after you create a feature request article, you add the Category:Feature Requests to the article so that it displays on this page.
 
== Tracking New Features that you are working on ==
 
Linden Labs allows developers who have signed a [http://secondlifegrid.net/programs/open_source/submission contribution agreement] to assign tasks in the [http://jira.secondlife.com public JIRA], so if you are working on a new feature and have signed an agreement, put it out on the JIRA and set its status to "In Progress" so others can keep track of what is being worked on.  Feel free to pick up any Open requests or issues as well.
 
You don't automatically get permissions on the public JIRA when you sign the agreement.  Here is an edited excerpt of a post to the [[SLDev]] mailing list by [[User:Iridium Linden|Iridium Linden]].
 
* The Contrib-Agreement group in the public JIRA entitles you to certain permissions. The main permission you are granted is the power to assign a JIRA task. Please note the following about your permissions:
** These permissions were introduced so that Open Source Contributors could assign JIRA tasks to themselves in order to show that work is in progress.  Assigning an issue to yourself will inform Lindens and your peers of that work in progress or your forthcoming contribution.
** Don't assign tasks to anyone without their consent.
** These permissions would allow you to assign tasks to Lindens.
** '''If you assign a JIRA task to a Linden without the explicit consent of that Linden, you will immediately be ejected from the group and your permissions thusly lost.'''
** If you require a copy of the agreement, follow the instructions on the wiki. Add your name to the contributor wiki, contact me, and I will add you to the group.
** Questions? Email me.
** Iridium
