Something new in the Bakery

Links?
 
Cant find em.

There are loads of links claiming to explain how the Bakery works.
None explain how it actually works.

The lock symbol is shown on the page titled Latest Ideas. Sharke got one of his ideas implemented. Yea Sharke!

Perhaps we are falling prey to logical falacy. 'Post hoc ergo procptor hoc' - after therefore because of. Correlation does not necessarily imply causation.
 
I just wish I had requested an add track button:) Maybe if I request it now it can be locked for posterity. Better still, can I trade it for a collapse/expand all folders button? ☺
 
Whoever is deciding new features, Sonar seems to me to be in pretty good shape.
 

A lot of software companies use an "agile" / SCRUM system to manage the development process. In short, this means developers and clients have regular short meetings to discuss what's going on, what the client wants, what needs doing next, who's having problems etc. Jobs are split into small bite size chunks that can be realistically completed in a particular sub-timeframe. This is the most efficient way of running a client/team based development. In this case, Cakewalk and its customers are the client. The client puts forward lots of feature requests and bug reports constantly. Through a series of ongoing SCRUM meetings, the development team will work out the order of priority and efficiency for the next stage of development. To us mear mortals, it will seem like they are just picking low hanging fruit or doing things completely randomly, however, what they are doing is keeping a maintainable and efficient flow of development going and it's also probably how they are able to give us these rolling updates - it's all thanks to a modern, agile development process. I'm personally very grateful for that - even though there are bugs I want fixed now and features I want implemented now, Sonar continues getting better and better every month.

To perform any function other than posting requires the appropriate signal level. For info see http://bakery.cakewalk.com/How-It-Works. It does appear that many who post on this forum do not post in the Bakery. I have not seen the Bakery change based on posts here but I have seen changes based on posts in the Bakery discussion section.

Seems the Bakery is an idea that never flew. I don't think any of the regulars to this forum have paid it much attention. I did try myself but found the format sucked. I much prefer what we already have here. My guess is the Bakery will die because of lack of buns. 

THe last time I visited the bakery I put in a suggestion to kill the bakery. Vote now, vote often. 

As a matter of fact my suggestion included reinstating the old feature request system. The bakery could be a one page summary of where the feature requests stand. If you look at the requests listed there, I think you will be hard pressed to find a correlation between what's listed and what gets implemented.

Yeah, I'm with Ken on this - I've even got it bookmarked right next to the link to this forum but I keep forgetting to go there, and when I have done, it just felt kind of awkward.
 
I dig the idea of it though, and it's probably the most efficient way of getting stuff done, but it just doesn't gel with me for some reason.
