Directions for Future Development

Use this page to browse through the many features requested by users and developers. Some are very specific bug fixes or requests for new capabilities. Others are just general areas people are interested in seeing Mushroom Observer grow. Features are organized by use of the following set of labels. Click on a label to see a list of features with that label. Click on a feature to see more detail and discussion. If you are logged in, you will be able to vote features up or down, and you can add your own comments to the discussion. If you would like to request a new feature, for now we request that you send us an email describing what it is you’d like to do. Please try to be as detailed as possible; concrete examples are generally the best.
