It's mostly hint for Run.GPS team to give your users/customers some feedback what's happening with our favourite software ;)
Some issue tracking software like jira or trac with tickets, statuses etc would allow us to know, what features are planned, with are discarded and why, what's left do be done to next release or when next release will be and so on...
i don't mean to replace forums, as they provide greate help, but I mean to suggest You to think little about cleaning up all bugs and suggestions, that are written here.
