[gpfsug-discuss] Request for Enhancements (RFE) Forum - Submission Deadline October 1

There is a limit on votes, not submissions. i.e. your site gets three votes, so you can't have three votes and someone else from Goddard also have three.

We have to review the submissions, so as you say 10 we'd think unreasonable and skip, but a sensible number is OK.

    Hi Kristy,
    
    At some point I thought I'd read there was a per-site limit of the 
    number of RFEs that could be submitted but I can't find it skimming 
    through email. I'd think submitting 10 would be unreasonable but would 2 
    or 3 be OK?
