suggested improvements. Maybe the most useful way for the eQuest
development team to receive the suggestions would be through a wiki that
allows people to add to a list on-line instead of having to wade through a
long email chain, followed by a vote on the list of improvements so that a
ranking of most to least important improvements can be generated. Could
Scott or one of the other development team members chime in on this?
I don't have the web/programming skills to make such a thing happen, but
there are probably some folks on the list who do.

Subject: Re: [Equest-users] Top 10 Improvements
I agree, good list. This is more of an engine than an interface suggestion,
but creating:
1) a legitimate way to model UFAD systems and
2) water-water heat pumps would be extremely beneficial.
I know Trane is working on the former at least.
