Community Radio Wish List
UserLand now maintains a wish list on the Radio9 site. This page may no longer be necessary but I will leave it up for now.
My Community Radio Wish List Manifesto
I believe that all Radio Users should maintain a Radio Wish List outline, available in OPML format. That way, UserLand could add our wish lists together and see what us users really want, in our own words.
Here is my wish list outline address (OPML)
What's yours? Send it to me and I'll add it to this page underneath your own name. Let's build a community radio wish list together.
How to create and add your Radio wish list to the Community Radio Wish List
Start Radio and begin a new outline.
To begin a new outline in Radio, choose the menu command File, New. A window appears with a gray triangle next to a blinking cursor.
Enter your wish list, press Enter between each wish.
Save your wish list in your Radio UserLand:www:gems folder. Name it something like 'myRadioWishList.opml'.
Radio will notice that you've added a file to the gems folder and upstream it to your site.
Check your Events Log. You should see an event that confirms that your wish list was upstreamed to the web.
Click on the link and send me the URL via email 
.
. I'll add your wish list to the Community Radio Wish List.
Whenever you update your wish list, those changes will be immediately reflected in the Community list.

Gzip RSS feeds
I don't know much about this, but I know that some RSS files are compressed, saving bandwidth. Perhaps Radio can support this.
About window option to Float
I wish there was a menu option which would make the About Radio UserLand window float on top of all other applications.
Growl support
Growl is a global notification system for Mac OS X. Any application can send a notification to Growl, which will display an attractive message on your screen.
Sub categories
I want to create categories within categories in Radio UserLand. For instance, I started a Weekly Tips section on my site, Radio: The Missing Manual. I want people to be able to subscribe to this section's weblog posts so I created a new category in Radio called 'Weekly Tips". I then created an #upstream.xml file which ftps this category to a subfolder on the missing manual called 'tips'.
I copied the theme files over from the missing manual category so that it would match. This all works fine but since this new category is really just a subfolder of another category, wouldn't it be nice if Radio have simply created this new entry as a *sub-category*, saving me from having to copy over theme files and the required tweaking that inevitably needs to be done. Not to mention that I now must manage two very similar themes instead of being able to take advantage of Radio's inherant ability to look higher up in the table for a template.
Markdown support
I'd like to see Markdown support in Radio.
Thanks to Andy Fragen I've got Markdown support and hopefully you will too, soon.
robots.txt upstream support
Is it yet possible to upstream a robots.txt file automatically?
This thread says it has to be manually uploaded...

Performance
Radio is sluggish on my OS X Mac when I am editing outlines.
RSS editing
It should be easier to edit the RSS description for each category. For instance, the RSS feed for this category is "Donovan Watts: Radio: The Missing Manual." I don't want 'Donovan Watts:' to be in front of every category feed I create.
Outline font settings aren't remembered.
Open an outline. Choose Apple-2 to make the font bigger. Save the outline. Close the outline. Open the outline again. The font size has reverted to the earlier, smaller size.
Creative Commons integration
As with Frontier, it would be nice if CC licensing were incorporated into the Radio Prefs.
Hard Drive name change
When I change the name of my hard drive, I must jump through hoops to make Radio work with the new name. This should be easier.
Work with my preferred browser
So many people want to use FireFox or Mozilla or anything other than IE or Safari. Radio just won't do it. It should respect whatever browser I use.
p tags, go away!
Radio, please don't insert any code. Let me handle it. No more p tags for double returns. Thanks.
shortcuts and glossary items don't expand in rss feeds
See this page for the details.
slacker bug
Bruce Zimmer explains the slacker bug, which I know nothing about because I blog constantly!
I want to be able to alter post dates.
