Now that 0.9.1 is out the door, I wanted to outline my thoughts for the next
release. My purpose is to drive some discussion about what we should focus
on.

1. I would like to get the django csrf updates incorporated into Satchmo
trunk so it can use this improved feature. An initial fork has been started
here - https://bitbucket.org/dhmorgan/satchmo

2. Updates to the admin interface. I would really like to see some efforts
at making the admin interface a little more streamlined so that it isn't as
intimidating to a new user. I think some judicious use of jquery could
probably make some big steps. I'd also like to see some rudimentary
reporting so that the admin interface is more useful to store owner.

3. Evaluating improvements to the product model to support improved product
model inheritance. There has been some good discussion here and I'd like to
see if we can make some of that a reality without massive
backwards-incompatible changes.

4. Figure out why caching-app-plugins does not work with the new caching
template loader.

Other than those items, I'm sure we'll continue to focus on documentation,
bug fixes and translations.

Some optional items:
- Bursar split. I'm still in favor of this but am not sure exactly how much
work is still needed there.
- One of my pony requests is an improvement to the overall look and feel of
the default store. I like that there is minimal cruft that needs to be
removed from the default templates but I would prefer that Satchmo out of
the box looked more presentable to a customer and had some cleaner markup.
It would be cool if we could get some templates out there to jump start that
aspect of deploying Satchmo.

Anyway, those are a few thoughts. I'm curious if anyone else has anything
major they would like to advocate for. Feel free to bring up here.

Thanks,
Chris
