{{note|This is a roughly sorted list of tasks that popped out during the meeting. We probably need to categorize it better, like seeing which task is blocker for which other, setting priority, split between "research" and "coding" and things like that. Still sounds like a premature thing though.}}

Warning
If you clear a task, please write "Completed" near it. If you are still working on it, please put your name. Percentage of the work done is accepted.



Tasks

If you want to claim a task, please put your name (or nickname, both is better) in brackets near the task you wish to claim. Please add it when you start working on it, and if you stop, please remove it, so we can know "who is working on what" and what tasks still needs to be started.

And, of course, this will avoid duplication of work. Thanks a lot! =)

Note
This is not meant to be a replacement for the feature list on the release schedules pages, but rather a place to record things that aren't there.
