Brandon, Dave,
Thank you for the summaries. We have had a LOT of discussion about 1.1
over the last month+ and maybe it is time to create a wiki page the
keeps a running list of decisions and issues. Links to bugs would be
cool also.
This would be really good for all. I would avoid rehashing a lot of
stuff on the list because we could point people to a roadmap page and it
would help others that are coding now so they are aware of changes that
will be forth coming.
Just a thought for a guy that has trouble keeping it all in his head :).
-Steve
