<h3>Roadmap Overview</h3>

<p>This is a feature list/roadmap for the 3.0 release.  A lot of discussion
has gone on about this.  Implementation is a separate discussion :-)
If a feature is already done, I marked it as "Req".  It should be obvious
from this roadmap that one the major hurdles for releasing the 3.0 code base
is the completion of documentation updates.

<ul>
  <li>X = done
  <li>o = TODO
  <li>- = unknown
</ul>

<p>
Some features have been through basic testing that have
<b>o</b>'s beneath testing column since we are not done.
Items are ordered by maturity, not by importance.  If it
is marked as <em>Required</em>, then it must be completed
for a stable 3.0 release.
