1. Add location awareness setting to Alexa

   Currently for visitors, they have to know specific location names in order to use Alexa functionlaity correctly. e.g. simply saying "turn off lights/music" would be too ambiguous, or would result in all lights/music in the house turning off.

   Add location awareness to Alexa so that, for instance when saying "turn off lights" or "play music on Sonos", Alexa can be configured to only apply the command to devices that are located the room in which that particular Alexa unit is actually located.

2. Allow eliciting slots from previous intent

   Currently, if a user has matched an intent, if using a dialog model, you can elicit a specific slot.

   There are times when you want to continue to elicit that slot, for example if you are playing a game that requires the user and Alexa to go back and forth with responses with the user filling the same elicited slot each time.

   However if the user says Help, or let's say you have another intent for asking the score or any other question, that moves to another intent, you cannot elicit that previous intent's slot anymore. For any skill, a user saying Help will cause this problem, even if you are only wanting to elicit the one time.

   At that point, you then have to prompt the user to say the right thing to get back to the previous intent in order to elicit again. This is clumsy and disruptive to the flow.

   Of course you can't just decide to use any intent you want the user to use, but in the case of the user actually previously intending an intent, all this feature request is proposing is to allow to go immediately back to that previous intent and elicit slots from that intent.

   So right now the updated Intent must matches exactly with the intent that the skill receives, but this feature request is for allowing it to match either the intent it receives or the previous intent it had received.

3. Allow to add/change Intent utterances without going again into the certification process

   When your skill is Live, you will identify phrases that user would use to interact with your skill. It would be nice if we could add or change utterances and build the skill model without submitting for certification process again

4. Version Control for interaction model schema

   A great feature would be to revision control the interaction model schema and also tool too compare it with previous versions and show history. We work as a team and another great integration would be some sort of github or stash integration .

5. API call for Altering Custom Slot Type Values at Runtime

   I am new to Alexa development. I realised that some of my custom type values can alter at runtime. As opposed to doing more NLP processing in the backend, perhaps there should be an API call to allow custom slot type values to be altered on the fly?
