I am a long time Ecco / Ecco Extension user and am trying to decide if I should switch to IQ. This would be a big step for me and I need to make sure that IQ has the important functionality that I use daily in Ecco. 
 
In the past, if a feature was missing or buggy in IQ, I could check Mantis to see if it was planned to be implemented / fixed in the near future. Now it seems like Mantis is no longer used? Is there an alternative now? Any way to see what is planned (with an ETA)?
 
p.s. Anyone knows why Firefox spell checker doesn't work in this Forum? It shows the error with red underline, but right-clicking to get suggestions doesn't work :

Hi viking
 
Mantis hasn't been used for quite some time. IQ Users tend to use this forum to report issues. The advantage is having everything under the same roof.
 
As for accessing the context menu while editing, Hit Ctrl and then right-click

If I see that an important Ecco feature will not be implemented [in the short-time future], then I will wait converting to IQ until some other time....

Juts out of curiosity, what important Ecco features are missing that you are looking for?  I'm a former Ecco user and while I know there are still a few things here and there that Ecco did that IQ does not, or did differently, overall IQ has now far surpassed it in almost every area of functionality.

I do not know yet.
It will take some time to figure out. I will need to start to work with Ecco data in IQ and try to convert my EE scripts. I do not want to spend too much time working with IQ if I start to discover that functionality, that is important for me in Ecco, is missing in IQ.
 
Right of when I tried to setup IQ, I realized that I cannot have my 4 Ecco  "grids" open in IQ. I frequently drag/drop data between these "grids".
