Allow Feedback on Public Roadmap
Enhance the public roadmap option to allow the same feedback mechanisms that the internal roadmap has.

They are wondering if there is an option to share the internal roadmap with end users via their portal. For example: These features are coming in Q1, these features are coming in Q2, etc.

Top voted roadmap feedback, 10 years old, no progress?? Can we get an action on this please.

Hi team, as a product focused on user feedback, the roadmap feature is pretty shocking and you aren't delivering on the any of the feedback shared by your most loyal users... are you ever going to invest in the Roadmap feature?

Which in the end is the same as sharing the roadmap... but with end-users

The "visibility" of the feature (i.e. is the text searchable by the engine or not) should be activated or not by Admins as an option for each individual feature

Features should be searchable by end-users

This would be a great option for sharing with some groups - or with everyone via a roadmap link on the home page

@Daxko: what do you think of this? http://feedback.uservoice.com/forums/1-general-feedback/suggestions/3449854-sort-ideas-by-status-into-a-de-facto-roadmap

Here's the idea:
The first page a user sees when visiting a uservoice page isn't a list of ideas that may or may not have been accepted by the administrators sorted by vote, what they see instead is this:
Ideas that have been started, then
Ideas that have been accepted, then
Ideas that are under review, then
Ideas that have been completedThen on a completely separate page: Ideas sorted descending by votes that are not completed, accepted, under review, started, or declined (basically an upcoming ideas list).
You know what I'd call this? A public facing roadmap without ETA dates (kept up to date with no additional effort by administrators) and an upcoming ideas list.
Now, WHY would this be important? It changes the unit of measurement from "votes" to progress / status. What would make your company look better? It may be just me, but knowing that a company is *doing* something about suggestions is far more important to me than whether my idea has a lot of votes.
It helps both large and small companies.
It will help big companies (like Rackspace) because they have legal departments that need clearance to make any sort of statements and this would probably work out nicely as a loophole because it has no mention of dates unless specifically mentioned by an admin user.
It will also help out a small users like myself because it's one less thing that I have to do. It would also help me look like I have it together, and shows that I care about what our users request and that I have a track record of getting things done for them.

Sort of both.
The ideas themselves are typically too small/too granular to communicate on a 6 month roadmap. Instead, I bucket similar ideas into themes/epics that are on the roadmap. For instance, the theme might be "Improve user management" that has ideas for "Allow a user to have two roles so they have the combined permissions of both roles," "Allow users to reset their own passwords," "Allow users to reset their password if they've forgotten it," "Bulk expire user passwords," etc. So I want to be able to put those ideas in the "Improve User management" bucket.
Then I want a public view where I can put those buckets on a rough timeline (or even just a priority order) so that our users can see what we are currently working on and what we plan to work on next.
