[Qt-creator] How to get your favourite feature into Qt Creator

[KC Jones]

Thanks for the explanation and for the invitation.  As one of the
people that have used this list to vent, I want to take a moment to
express my gratitude for the good work on this product.  I'm using it
for my work full time and overall I really think this product has
great potential.

I think it would be worth investing a little time and effort into
developing the Creator wiki at
http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-creator/pages/Home

Until I started writing this post I was not aware that there was
online docs for Creator.  I had no idea there was an issue tracker.  I
see where there is a bug submit page, but I don't see where I can
search, browse, or track Creator bugs and issues.  And I do not see
much about the roadmap.  On the Qt roadmap page I did find a link to
the labs blog for posts about Creator.

It would not be hard to link these resources into the wiki, and I'm
sure it would be useful for observers like myself.

Thanks,
KC
