This is the list of 'high priority' features identified at the July steering committee meeting from a longer list. Our developer community will be working to implement these features in the coming months. You can help (even if you can't code!) by adding details about features and signing up for any feature that you'd be interested in helping to specify (just follow the links below). The progress on these features is outlined here.
