Voting for an existing suggestion

If someone has already added a suggestion similar to yours, you can vote for it by watching the page (select Watch from the left menu on the suggestion page). Suggestions with more votes are more likely to be implemented.

If you simply want to follow a discussion but not vote for it, go ahead and Watch the page, but also edit the page to add your name to a section titled "Neutral".

Adding a new suggestion

If you've reviewed the list of suggestions and can't find yours, add it below. Give your suggestion a descriptive title so others can find it and vote for it.

Ex. GEDCOM - make place matching easier
