To enhance the options for demos, start having remote lightning demo at the user conference and the devSummit. There are some professionals that might not be able to attend a conference from time to time and offering the opportunity for a remote lightning demo at the conferences could increase the ROI for attendees. ...

While at a previous user conference, I remeber a wall of posts for GIS jobs; I mean a LARGE WALL of POSTS. Wouldn't it be a great service for the GIS community to be able to locate GIS jobs on a GIS site? And by Geo-Location. Who know ESRI might even find a future employee in this manner. So, can we add a geo-job postings section that also has the option to search by location? ... View more

You can export vbScript, jScript, and python from ModelBuilder; but I would like to see an option to export a created model to a JavaScript API Web Page. HTML would be fine as this would create a template on the fly. ... View more

I would like to see ArcGIS Desktop with a File Close option as opposed to completely exiting out of it and re-opening it to see the inferface with no map. ... View more

Whenever you try out an extension; it usually ends after 30 days or something like that and then a warning is received that displays to run ArcMap Advanced Settings. I usually have to search for .exe. It would be helpful if a menu item was added to to the tools menu to run this or possibly add a link in the message box to open ArcMap Advanced Settings. Even better: let the message box display; Warnings are on. Would you like to turn them off? Click yes or no and then get gack to work. ... View more

I would like to see a central location where you can find users or developers in a particluar geographic area for meetings, announcements, and get togethers. There is a Dev Meetup in New York this month hosted by ESRI. I would like there to be a Geo-Discussion area for such an event. You would click on a link to navigate to Geo-Discussions and then would have a list of regions. The upcoming event could be under New York. The list could be states as well as countries. Everything happening in Illinois would be in the Illinois category. GIS Events and discussions related to the state of Washington would be in the category of Washington. Using RSS for announcements would give the community control on information that it wanted to receive and GIS professionals could communicate with others in their region with searching across groups after group. As a developer, I would enjoy know who I can contact in person and who I need to contact online. ... View more

When getting driving directions, it would be helpful if there was a turn by turn print task with just directions by turn, map by turn or both map and directions by turn. ... View more

There are times when providing a map that three levels would be helpful. I would like to see a print task that allows for producing 1-3 extents based on the option the user enters. The options would include: Print the map displayed on screen. (this would be the detail map) Print the map zoomed out to display immediate area. (options could be in miles or km) Print the map to full extent. If needed this would provide a way to get a detail map and a map that provides information on where the location of interest is in relationship to the area around it. ... View more

I would like to see a mashup category added that would have examples of how to create extended mashups to add to web pages and also making mashups geo-sensitive when applicable using resources like; delicious, flickr, GeoRSS, RSS, Amber Alerts, Wearther Alerts, twitter, Facebook, Yahoo Pipes and more. This could enhance additional potential functionality of a web map. ... View more

I realize that the User Conference is still quite a bit larger than the DevSummit, but I know the value of both and would like to see the DevSummit change locations each year or if that it too difficult, create a new thing; a Mini-DevSummit which wouldn't offer as much as the full DevSummit but content could be determined based on feedback. This would allow for a shorter distance to travel for financially strapped organizations and possibly make attending a reality. ... View more
