Should Do This should let me tell people that someone is actually doing the thing they say they should do

Hrm interesting… okay, so you can mark something as “has done this” which is interesting and aweome, but i think it’d be useful to have a “is/are doing this” button. For instance, someone has in here that VW should bring back the Eurovan. I know they are planning on doing that. So it’d be nice to say They ARE doing that.

I’d love any info you have about the Eurovan returning to the USA (or being imported to the USA).

I do know about the supposed minivan/microbus being built on the Chrysler platform – but even it has been pushed back year after year.

I’ve got my third kid on the way and I need outrageous amounts of seating!

Maybe I don’t understand what you’re saying, but it sounds like a case of “six of one, half a dozen of the other.”



Should do this

Well I think as a suggestion box, people will come up with ideas that companies and people should do, but take a lot of time to implement. Like… to be able to tell people the idea has, in fact, been approved, and they are working on it, even though it might take a year or two. It’s good information to let people know things are being worked on, though perhaps inaccurate to say they have done it.

Am I making sense?



No opinion

I see. So maybe a button that says “is considering this” or “is working on this” to go alongside “has done this”?

I wonder if the phrase “is doing this” would be confusing in cases where the nature of the thing being suggested is ongoing. For example, “Company X should recycle their waste materials.” In that case, Company X would want to get to a state of continually recycling, not just doing it once and considering it done. In that case, “is doing this” and “has done this” would mean the same thing. So I think something like “is considering this” would make the distinction clearer.



Should do this

Yeah totally. Your comment made me realize “is doing this” is totally the wrong phrasing. I think “is working on” or “is considering” is far more accurate.
