A
What
I
wanted
to
talk
to
you
about
today
is
just
give
you
a
little
brief
community
update.
So
this
is
just
a
little
recap
of
kind
of
where
we're
at.
As
you
know,
for
office
developers,
we
do
not
have
paid
support
unless
you're
a
big
enterprise
company
and
can
afford
that
sort
of
thing.
So
what
we've
done
is
taken
all
the
different
areas
where
our
developers
reach
out
to
for
free
support
for
the
different
types
of
contacts
such
as
you
know.
A
I
have
this
great
idea,
which
is
what
we're
going
to
talk
about
today
or
I
found
a
bug
or
how
do
I
do
this
or
where's
the
documentation,
something's
missing?
We
have
all
these
different
contact
types
and,
as
a
result,
we
have
multiple
channels
that
our
pms
on
our
team
volunteer.
We
have
a
rotation
every
week.
One
of
us,
including
dave
and
me
and
juan,
and
all
the
other
pm's
triage
these
places.
A
So
I'll
demo
that
now
the
main
problem
is,
as
you
know,
uservoice
retired
last
year,
kind
of
suddenly,
and
we
didn't
have
a
place
to
send
people
for
their
ideas.
So
we
created
a
temporary
solution
which
I'll
share
with
you
right
now
we
went
to
tech
communities
where
they
had
forums
and
we
created
the
microsoft
365
developer
platform
ideas.
A
A
So
as
you
can
see,
this
is
a
place
to
track
ideas
and
add
up
votes.
We
have
a
lot
of
ideas.
This
one
has
144
votes
on
down
here,
but
it's
really
hard
for
us
to
triage.
Like
I
mentioned,
we
have.
This
is
a
volunteer
thing
for
all
of
our
pms
and
they
spend
a
lot
of
the
time
in
github
and
don't
always
get
out
to
these
more
remote
places.
A
I
should
say
it's
also
difficult,
because
if
we
wanted
to
track
the
office
add-ins
development
suggestions,
it
does
change
for
us,
but
we
have
no
idea
how
many,
for
some
reason
this
doesn't
change.
We
also
can't
sort
by
the
tags.
So
if
it
was
a
word,
add
in
suggestion,
so
it's
really
hard
for
the
the
volunteers
on
the
feedback
rotation
to
dive
in
and
get
to
this.
So
as
a
result,
you
can
see
we're
not
doing
the
best
job
of
triaging
this
and
getting
to
it.
A
We
still
have
this
has
been
about
a
year
and
we
have
660
new
items,
so
that
is
obviously
a
failure
on
our
part
for
not
being
responsive
enough
to
your
ideas.
I'm
not
saying
we
don't
go
out
here
and
look
at
it.
What
I'm
saying
is
it
doesn't
have
a
process
to
filter
into
our
actual
workflow,
so
we
were
diligently
waiting
for
the
new
feedback
portal
to
come
out,
which
is
in
preview,
but
it
is
released.
This
comes
with
its
own
set
of
problems
for
us,
the
main
one
being
that
it
is
completely
product.
A
Centric
doesn't
have
any
area
whatsoever
for
developer
ideas.
There
are
a
few
exceptions,
sharepoint
is
in
here
and
if
you
go
to
their
categories,
you
can
see
that
they
have
development
and
customization
as
an
option.
Another
area-
that's
in
here
because
it's
product
level
you'll,
see
outlook,
word
powerpoint,
but
you
won't
see
office.
A
Another
area
is
graph
graph
has
all
the
has
a
lot
of
areas
for
developers
to
go
to
so
sharepoint
add-ins
developers,
graph,
add-ins
or
people
who
use
graph
can
use
the
graph
feedback
portal
here.
But
if
you
wanted
to
make
a
suggestion
for
word
or
something,
there's
there's
developer
tools,
but
there's
there's
nothing
else.
Really.
We
do
have
a
couple
people
who
are
using
this,
I'm
not
sure
how
we're
going
to
handle
that
situation,
but
we
can't
it
doesn't
all.
Also,
this
feedback
portal
is
a
bucket.
A
Basically,
for
our
back
end,
it's
called
ocv1
customer
voice
where
everything
goes
to
bug.
Reports
in
product
send
a
smile,
send
a
frown,
documentation,
feedback,
all
the
different
content
types.
So
this
feedback
portal
is
a
feedback
central
for
all
the
different
contact
types
and
we
don't
have
a
central
place
for
issues
so
early
on.
There
had
been
a
suggestion
by
many
of
you,
as
well
as
many
of
our
pms,
that
we
should
just
continue
to
keep
ideas
and
suggestions
for
new
apis
and
new
features,
suggestions
in
github.
A
So
we're
at
this
point
now
that
we
have
the
feedback
portal
is
in
preview
and
released
the
the
place
that
the
interim
solution-
that's
not
working,
we
need
to
move
off
of,
and
so
the
problem
is:
where
do
we
go?
Do
we
send
you
all
to
the
feedback
portal
and
have
difficulty
triaging
there,
or
do
we
keep
it
in
github?
You
probably
remember.
I
brought
this
up
a
couple
months
ago.
I
personally
feel
that
we
should
keep
you
guys
where
we're
already
at
which
is
in
the
github
repo.
A
A
I
already
mentioned
several
of
the
cons.
Basically,
I
don't
think
we
can
use
this,
but
then
how
do
we?
How
do
we
use
github?
It
also
has
problems
too.
We
end
up
just
stacking
up
the
issues
and
it's
difficult
because
we
have
pms
and
engineers
in
china,
india,
here
in
seattle,
the
person
doing
the
actual
triage
has
to
spend
a
lot
of
time
trying
to
figure
out
who
gets
the
assignment
we
can
integrate.
A
Github
now
has
a
connector
for
ado,
but
we
would
need
to
find
somebody
on
the
team
or
find
a
some
somehow
to
develop
that
resource,
because
we're
very
tight
and
resource
constrained.
With
this
effort
to
volunteer
to
track
down
all
of
our
customer
feedback,
we
do
have
plenty
of
power,
bi
reports
that
we
can
use,
but
again
that
requires
somebody
to
kind
of
figure
out
that
aspect
of
it.
A
Okay,
so,
as
I
continue
talking,
I
want
to
just
mention
right
now,
where
we're
at
is
that
I
have
submitted
the
spec
that
we
changed
to
github
with
you
know
all
the
stuff
that
a
spec
requires
and
most
people,
that
I've
talked
to
individually
and
groups,
including
many
of
you
personally
like
this
decision.
However,
it's
not
final,
I
do
have
to
get
sign
up
on
it,
although
I'm
very
positive,
this
will
happen.
So
what
what
I'd
like
you
to
do?
A
Is
I'm
going
to
go
back
and
share
my
screen
if
you
have
a
moment
to
check
out
feedback
versus
github
officejs
repo
and
send
your
thoughts?
If
you
have
any
on
how
we
can
manage
this
better,
send
it
to
me
directly
and
please
put
in
your
subject
office
adam's
feature,
suggestion
that
way.
I
can
sort
it
and
get
to
it
directly.
If
you
have
any
suggestions
that
you've
currently
submitted
on
the
feedback
forum,
if
you
have
any
actually
here
that
you've
that
you've
added
please
at
me,
my
username
here
is
at
lindaloo
hyphen
msft.
A
A
Imagine
you
had
something
you
wanted
to
request.
How
would
you
go
about
it
and
please
give
me
your
feedback.
One
of
the
things
I
wanted
to
point
out
is
that
here
in
office.js,
where
we
do
most
of
our
triage
or
most
of
our
the
feedback
process.
Volunteers
work
in
mostly
we
already
have
quite
a
few
product
feature
requests.
We
have
47.
A
A
A
Lastly,
I
think
the
last
bullet
point
on
the
previous
slide
was,
if,
if
you
are
interested
in
being
in
an
official
customer
survey,
type
user
group,
let
me
know
I
have
other
questions
about
other
areas
of
of
how
we
do
support
some
of
these
areas
that
you
frequent
stack,
overflow,
microsoft,
q,
a
and
some
of
the
other
channels
that
we
monitor,
if
you
have
any
questions,
put
them
in
the
chat.
I'll
do
my
best
right
now
to
answer
or
you
can
reach
out
directly
to
me.
That's
it
all
right!
