Louis, This seems important to me. And in your role as an evangelist for Google developers, it feels like it ought to be important to you. I'd be really grateful (on behalf of the dev community) if you could bring it to the attention of people in Google who could actually make it happen. Ade Oshineye clearly would like to but something's stopping him.
Having similar problems elsewhere in Google.
- I've been unable to find an issue tracker for G+
- Same goes for Maps, no issue tracker,
- Still unable to get any response from anyone over the continued missing features that used to be in Latitude.
Whatever, hope you're well,
Originally shared by Julian BondNot so much a feature request but a project request for 2014. Can Google please assign a couple of interns to go through the issue tracker.
https://code.google.com/p/google-plus-platform/issues/list?can=1&q=&sort=-stars&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Component%20Owner%20Summary%20Stars
First check that all the issues marked as fixed are actually fixed. There are several highly starred issues I'm aware of that got marked as fixed incorrectly at some time in the past. Or that have re-appeared in subsequent updates.
Second, triage, prioritise, merge and generally tidy up the open issues and get them assigned to people capable of dealing with them.
I've come to accept that Google won't comment on future changes. But there are bugs in there where fields in the documentation never get filled or are filled incorrectly and the issue has been outstanding for 2 years or more. Seriously, either fix the docs or the code or something. Because eventually you'll lose the good will of the developers posting into the tracker. At the moment it feels very much as though nobody is actually watching. Or if they are, they're deliberately choosing to do nothing or not allowed to do anything or simply ignoring it.
Finally, this may be difficult, but I really think anything with over 30 stars or so deserves some more formal response and explanation.
