Hello all. I had a good birthday. How about you, Zero?

arrow Cat game. Can you tell us anything about it? What kind of game? Is it a face book style game?
arrow So, you often answer much-requested things with "it's on our list, but we have more important things to do, first." Why not make a list (or lists, based on the type of person that does each thing: artist, dev, admin, etc) that shows what is being worked on now, what is next, and all the way down to what is last on the list of things that will be done. It would help with the whole "when are you going to update inventory arranger??" type of questions you get every ATA. Frankly, I dont know what could be higher on a list than that, since EVERYONE uses their inventories. But maybe if we could all see the list, we'd be a lot more patient and understanding of what needs to be done.
arrow On a similar note, instead of a "spring cleaning," that feels like it is never finished, why not have us rank our priorities of what we want finished first, out of a list of, say, twenty things that are pre-approved as something that will some day get done. I think Gaia could really use this information on what it's users want first. Perhaps a couple different polls based on who does what type of work, like I mentioned above this. Prioritizing based on what the users want would keep a majority of the users happy.
Hi Castiel,
Ha - we'll see on Waffles.
The cat game is going to be a mobile game, but that's about all I can say about it now, other than the fact that it should be available for beta test sooner rather than later.
I like your idea on the list in theory, but it's a double-edged sword. Priorities change all the time based on a large variety of factors, and simply keeping a list like that updated and maintained is work in itself. And even if we do keep up with it, it can be a source of misinformation because we might punch something small out that's less important than something else simply b/c it won't take much time, or any number other examples.
However, that said, I think that we could do a better job of talking about the big stuff we're working on so that people know - for example, we are officially starting work on an Android App
