What did we do that you like? What did we do that you disliked?  what should we do more of?  and what should we do less?\r\n\r\nPlease keep this feedback focused on the process and our interactions, uservoice remains the right place for feature requests.\r\n\r\nWe would appreciate your feedback and help us to learn how to do a better job of working alongside you to create the tools that we all want to use.\r\n\r\nThank you \r\n\r\nKevin"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/Microsoft/visualfsharp/issues/comments/102498610","html_url":"https://github.com/Microsoft/visualfsharp/issues/451#issuecomment-102498610","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/Microsoft/visualfsharp/issues/451","id":102498610,"user":{"login":"braden","id":124030,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/124030?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/braden","html_url":"https://github.com/braden","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/braden/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/braden/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/braden/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/braden/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/braden/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/braden/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/braden/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/braden/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/braden/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-05-15T19:19:07Z","updated_at":"2015-05-15T19:19:07Z","body":"I think you did a great job listening (putting up with?) the community!\r\n\r\nOne thing I am not crazy about is Uservoice, it is another website to signup for and remember to check if people want to stay engaged. The voting model is sort of flawed (I used my votes ages ago and can't do anything now.) I think the way rust is handling their process with RFCs is really great - https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs it is all on Github so contributors already have accounts / notifications set up and won't miss important updates. Using pull requests for proposals is great for collaboration as well, especially as things get more serious the amount of detail in the proposals gets fairly large. \r\n\r\nOverall awesome job, things just keep getting better and better!"}}
