| ==Frequently Asked Questions==
| |
| ;What's the deal with that feature-plan?:In the past, there were a lot of complaints about a rather long "freeze period", so this is an attempt to address this issue. Basically the idea is that you add an entry about what feature you want to finish in the 3.1 timeframe and mark it as done when you completed it. This helps me to get an overview about the outstanding changes and in return allows you to work on the missing parts even in the "freeze period".<br /><br />The feature-plan is open for commits till July 1st. ''Later additions'' require review first. I will try to respect outstanding entries in the release schedule.<br /><br />Please understand that although this gives you greater freedom over SVN, it also requires more discipline in making sure that your additions don't have unwanted side effects.
