wish list item...

[Lauren Kelly]

Hi John,

At this time, the forum wishlist area is just a supplement to the 
official filePro wishlist.

I heard from many developers that they felt like their items were 
disappearing into a black hole when they submitted them to the wishlist, 
and I hoped the forum would provide a comfortable place to discuss items 
and expand on them with the fP Tech crew.

Items do still need to be entered into the 'official' wishlist, which is 
at http://www.photobuff.com/wishlist/index.html

I know this isn't ideal, but hopefully it is better than the black hole.
