A good title explains the core of the problem in about 5-10 words. (It's sometimes easier to write the title after you've written the description.)

At the moment we don't have a formal roadmap for the project, rather we are a community of people who each contributes to sections that we feel are important for the project.
Feature requests are therefore mostly a way of us discussing/feeling out together where we'd like the project to go.
This can sometimes involve a lot of discussion, as everyone uses openFrameworks differently.
This can sometimes involves a lot of discussion, as everyone uses openFrameworks differently.

Feature requests are created as Github Issues, just like bugs.
Feature requests are also where code that you or anyone else would like to include in a future pull request is **discussed before being implemented!**

Before opening a feature request, please search the issue tracker and confirm an existing request touching the same topic doesn't already exist.

- We are generally a friendly and open collection of people, but communication over the internet can be difficult, so please don't treat a lot of discussion as a negative point against your feature request.
Usually a lot of discussion just means that we haven't thought about what you're requesting before, which is a good thing!

If you feel like no-one is paying attention to your feature request, just be patient, it will be considered eventually.
- And finally, a small reality check: please don't expect that a general agreement in the discussion that a feature request is a good idea means it will get made immediately!
As with most open source projects, the fastest way to get a feature made is to make it yourself, or if you are not a programmer, make friends with someone who is, introduce them to openFrameworks, and ask them to make it for you.
