I agree with Johnsins. with all the cool things in the pipeline there's no rush to submit new ideas to the devs. However, what I am suggesting is establishing an agreed upon process for prioritizing ideas. The time spent waiting for an update doesn't have to be idle. it would be spent preparing & ramping up the pipeline.
the Mini-game polling took about a month & half. Then there was Twitter polling for another week or so. rounding up to 2 month just to pick an idea. Then estimate another 2-3 months for the devs to produce it. then we're looking at 4months for an idea to go from nothing to available in the game. Then add another month for people to provide feedback on the latest update. All that added up to at least 5 months on 1 idea.
My point is we could make good use of time in preparation. Surveying, Discussing, Polling topic by topic. This process can get the ideas cooking instead of going stale waiting idle. This cycle could keep quality updates more regular. It could provide evidence for the Devs to prove that we've vetted through a suggestion. It could also rovide confidence to the users that we're cooking something good up. Finally the gears can turn on these ideas so the can come off the list. Not all at once but over time with planning in a step by step way.
