Well, I haven't started on it yet, much as I'd like to. I've considered going back and pushing a few other priorities back so I can get to this earlier, though. So many things to do. My list seems to grow longer and longer rather than shorter and shorter. Nevertheless, it's good to have a long list of exciting projects to do.

I agree

... but waiting another year, and gaining trade features that no other site has, or ever dreamed of, would be worth the wait.

Clearly Deep Design Thoughts are percolating through Dave's fertile imagination, like worms in compost, if that's a good image.

How about, instead, "deep taproots for Trading Features are sinking ever deeper into Dave's fertile imagination, and the blooms are cross-polinating and multiplying".

Rick you always make me laugh. Smiling

I had to get the Gardening Ideas feature implemented - it was an important priority for me. But now that's out of the way, the very next thing for me to roll up my sleeves on is the trading feature. I promise you, you're going to like it. It will be useful for much, much more than just trading.

It will definitely be done in phases, and I plan to release early and often, building an initial simple system and launching that, and then adding on to it all the features I have planned. That was the method we used in developing our database feature and I think it worked very well.
