We have moved the existing feature requests from the Wiki to the appropriate suggestion forums (although we have removed those which had only very few supporters). You can easily tell them by the author "from Wiki".
We also have imported all supporters - so there is nothing you need to do right now!

Pretty simple !

A suggestion is nothing but a little more specific type of forum post. Every signed in user may create one. Also, users can answer to such posts as usual. The difference is that users can support or object to the suggestion.

to begin with, you should determine the appropriate forum for your suggestion
look for an existing suggestion that already covers yours
if so, simply support the existing one
if not, create a new suggestion (preferably in English)

It will probably be a good idea to wait for some feedback in this stage. You may receive some response which allows you to enhance your suggestion. This allows more users to support it! Once it is "good", you can call for votes on it (Approve Voting, please note that you can not edit it any more then).

Btw: you may (and probably should) support your own suggestions!

A good suggestions is both concise and plausible At best, the following questions are clearly answered:

what exactly is the issue that is to be solved?
why is it worth spending the effort to resolve the issue?
what exactly is your suggestion to solve the issue?

innovaphone gear is used in many countries throughout the world. Therefore, to reach all of them, English posts are probably a good idea. However, some users may feel uncomfortable writing English text, so we thought it would be a good idea to have two forums - one for English posts (recommended) and one for German posts.

Now you will certainly ask yourself: why in German and not in Hebrew? Well, the answer is that probably half of our user base is German speaking, so there will (hopefully) be enough traffic to justify a separate forum. We are currently not aware of any Hebrew-speaking users. So we have one forum for German speakers on one for rest-of-world.

However, we recommend to do suggestion in the suggestion forums in English only. This is simply cause you want of course all users to support your suggestion with their votes. And for this to work, they must be able to read and understand it.
