There is now a BottomFeeder Implemented Wishes wiki page derived from the old BottomFeeder Wish List page. Both pages are now ordered by the date of the wish.

BottomFeeder is still very much a work in progress, but it is amazing how far Jim Robertson has been able to take it. Bear in mind that it is essentially a one-man project, with only occasional help from others. What makes it possible (beyond Jim being a talented, hard-working fellow) is the tremendous productivity of VisualWorks Smalltalk, coupled with its rich libraries of reusable classes.

The BottomFeeder Implemented Wishes page has a lot of items on it, some old and some new. People have found BottomFeeder useful and have wanted a variety of new features -- new standards (RSS 2.0 and Atom), new modules (commenting and attachments), new approaches to UI (tickers and newspaper views), and new conveniences (font changing and stylesheets). BottomFeeder has kept up with it all.

But the BottomFeeder Wish List page still has a lot of unmet wishes. This is good! It means the program still has room to evolve in its niche.
