It would be good to add a section in the forum where users can propose improvements for B&R software / hardware and other users could vote the ideas up if they are also interested in it.
The Discourse system has such a voting-plugin available:
Thank you for the suggestion! Since product requests are not directly processed via the forum (see community guidelines),we are going to avoid a dedicated product improvement area because this might set the wrong expectations. You can still freely discuss B&R related ideas in the “Share Info & Ideas” channel, and others can “like” or reply to your post with their thoughts.
Our community is in its infancy, so we are still observing how to best serve our user base before we start making changes. We will keep this idea in mind, but no promises
