Community impact features (list of requests)

This is a list of features that have been identified as having beneficial community impact. The list is a work in progress and will be updated with feedback. A forum topic has been established where this list can be discussed and additions can be suggested. On a monthly basis, the community manager will report on the progress towards implementing these features.
