It only covers tickets that have severity=enhancement and is an addition to sjgadsby's awesome weekly Bug Jars.)

Make managers, developers and the maemo.org community aware of what you think is important to get in!

It would be worth listing the new enhancement requests, as a clear way to gather feedback and votes. Let's assume that many people interested in these monthly fature jars are not following the much longer and complex weekly bug jars.

Hmm, it's one click, but okay.

>=10 votes: 14 enhancement requests total
>=5 votes: 33 enhancement requests total
