Besides of that, you can provide any additional feedback to the Standard, to the documentation and to other components. This can be done by going to the Feedback pages (see the 'Feedback' button). You can place there your comments, suggestions and/or ideas, and you can comment on already existing contributions. If you like to support some the already posted ideas, you can vote for them.
