Features & Bugs

Describe what this release should contain. When referring to a Bug, provide the Bug ID, the URL and a short description.

"Must have" Features / Bugs

These are the features or bugs that hold the build; fallbacks to be listed. To add something here you must be prepared to implement (fix) it, or know someone who is. Everything needs a name.

"Want" Features / Bugs

Less critical, but still nice. Adding here is also a statement of intent.

"Like" Features / Bugs

Less important stuff.

"Wontfix"

Definitely not in this release. Pull stuff down here when scrubbed from the previous lists.
