How does the User Voice forum relate to the PLIP process?
PLIPs are Plone Improvement Proposals. We use this to track features and code bundles submitted for inclusion in future Plone versions. The UserVoice forum is intended to help generate ideas. If an idea is deemed good (i.e. it gets a large number of votes) and someone is willing to implement it and see it through the PLIP process, it may be turned into a PLIP and submitted for review by the appropriate Plone Framework Team, whose job it is to review and accept/reject PLIPs. Don’t worry about PLIPs if you only want to suggest an idea and you’re not intending to go implement it. If you have an idea and you want to try to implement, but you’re not sure how the PLIP process works, use the plone-dev mailing list to ask for help.
