Yes, Empeg has internal lists for these things, of course they do. I even saw one, in fact, on their intranet (Hugo was peeking at it once with me looking over his shoulder).

They're not going to share these with the general public, though. Their reasons for not sharing have already been addressed in some older threads (anyone have links?), but it's mostly common sense. Other than major features mentioned in marketing materials, you don't see Microsoft sharing their internal wish lists with the public, do you? Guess what, they have good reasons for it. You said yourself: you do software development for a living. Does your company reveal its internal work-process documents to your external customers? Ask your manager why not.

Keep in mind that this BBS is unofficial. Just because the Empeg folks participate doesn't mean we're part of the company. Heck, I'm an alpha tester and I don't know any more about upcoming features than you do.

PS: I think I once asked the exact same question you just did...
