Is there a list of enhancements

[ssim]

As I put in the subject line is there an official list of enhancements that are currently being worked on by the Pbase team. I have seen the poll of which ones we want to vote on but that hardly seems like anything official.

I see all sorts of other sharing sites that are of the same relative annual cost (or less at times) that seem to be able to provide changes and enhancements in an orderly manner. They don't seem to rely on others to put together unofficial plugins for things like Lightroom.

I've been with Pbase for quite a few years and in general like it even though we seem to go through periods of turmoil that I don't see alot of others enduring. I sometimes question myself whether there is a focus on the customer here or not. It seems like it is treated like a hobby for the owners at time. I read the forum and there are some members that jump in with answers but not the principals that can speak on behalf of pbase. Hence my comment relative to focusing on the customer. I know the annual fee is not all that much but neither is it on the other side of the street and I tire of that response. I would just simply like to know if this list exists or if this is a closely held secret by Pbase masters.

There are a couple of posts on page 6 of this thread that you may want to look at in relation to this:

In short, if there IS a list, or indeed a plan... it doesn't seem to be visible to members.

I've said before that it's not a good look, and I've wasted so many bytes on the issue of communication (or not) that it would probably be futile to waste any more.

What's certain is that the members aren't being kept in the loop the way (for example) SmugMug does with its blogs (http://blogs.smugmug.com/don/ or http://blogs.smugmug.com/baldy/), or the news section of Zenfolio (http://www.zenfolio.com/zf/news.aspx), or....

However that just seems to be the way PBase is. Eventually you just have to shrug your shoulders, say "well, we've tried to tell 'em", go back to posting photos and hope that enough people stick around to keep the site viable.
