It’s pretty great that you can influence the Force.com product roadmap on Force.com Ideas. It seems like just the other month that I blogged about our previous platform release – enumerating some of the great features that became available.

Well, while Winter ’10 is still in our future, it’s worth noting that Ideas has just been updated with Ideas Coming in Winter ’10!.

Of course, details are sparse and nothing is set in stone, but there are some really juicy items there. For example Apex Scheduler billed as a “Cron-like scheduling mechanism.” That would be an awesome addition to the platform.

Finally, you’ll want to take a look at the snowman 😉
