DominicM:

31 is a repeat on 14

There's a big difference between saying, "Go over there and look at this, here's the link." and "here it is!" 

Of course I view hyperlinks as links to anywhere and attachments as one step closer to embedding.  To which I would add my desire to embed such items.  :-)  Up the ante.

When attaching a note to a word (or phrase) in any Bible with a lemma layer (Greek, Hebrew, Interlinear, Reverse Interlinear), attach the note to the lemma of that word (or first word of a phrase) so the note is available in the same verse and word in other Bibles that also have the lemma layer.

I think a good place to keep this list would be http://wiki.logos.com/Feature_Wishlist . I would recommend starting a new section just for notes, then filter any duplicates out of the other list.

Why not use logos.uservoice.com instead, then we can see how the user base as a whole feels about these.

DominicM:

if you want to - be my guest - but is it "officially endorsed"? cos if its not its almost meaningless

Yes, it is "officially endorsed" -- it was announced here on the forum by Bob Pritchett himself. It's experimental so far, but they'll definitely be paying attention to it:

DominicM:

I would think that when Bob P. announces it as an experiment it is officially endorsed. I think that the initial results may not be super-helpful because some of the features requested have already been committed to. And it will take a bit of time for people to learn how to word requests effectively. But when I look at how the requests and priorities are sorting out, I am encouraged that it will become representative and useful.

I  agree, I had missed BobP's announcement thread tho..
