Update Idea statuses more frequently; esp. when publicly declaring something to be Under Consideration

  • 80
    Points

  • Update Ideas in a timely fashion to match publicly stated intentions, etc. For example, the pre-conf Q&A for the 2012 Int'l UC states the following:

    "Q: I would like to use full ArcGIS at home; can Esri include this as part of its home use program?
    Yes. Esri is modifying its home use program to include ArcGIS for Desktop Advanced."

    That's terrific. But the following relevant idea does not have a status of Under Consideration or Implemented:

    Offer ArcGIS for Home at ArcEditor (Standard) license level--not just ArcView (Basic)
    http://ideas.arcgis.com/ideaView?id=08730000000bpaL


    I leave it as an exercise to the reader to guess how many other Ideas have stale statuses. Hopefully not many. But who knows based on the above.

@rastrauch, your guess may be correct. That's an internal communications issue for Esri to work out. But anything deployed must also be maintained. And insufficient Idea updates may disincent participation. When one feels inadequate resources have been assigned to maintain Ideas.arcgis.com itself I'm not sure who one goes to. Catch-22 / chicken-and-egg?

Perhaps the issue is non-trivial. I've never managed an Ideas site so I don't know the challenges involved.

I agree status should be updated more, since if you missed the announcment (which somehow I did at the UC), Advanced (i.e. ArcInfo Desktop) is part of the home use program now
http://www.esri.com/arcgis-for-home/index.html   
But my guess is that somethings are under consideration and/or implemented without the right people even knowing there is an "idea" on the page, i.e. tieing the two together...therefore they don't know to update it.  Again, just my guess.
