I agree that it is preferred to have a 0.20.5 equivalent, but not so much that it obstructs us from doing a perfectly usable release. I think 0.20.5 will still be around for a while. There's no easy way around that. > The FOPProjectTasks Wiki[1] is a good place to start, but a comparison > chart similar to the FOP Compliance Page might be better.

As I mentioned myself a couple of times the compliance page is extremely important for us as an instrument to inform users of the status of the development. That's also a point where non-developers can easily contribute. :-) Jeremias Maerki
