Re: What will be included in 3.0?

[Sean Brady <sbrady gtfservices com>]

Not being a developer myself, there is little that I can do to get these 
things in place.  I can, however solicit and monetarily contribute 
support for developers to code some of these features and propose them 
for inclusion.

I have requested help from a couple people that are not yet involved but 
so far no luck.  What kind of "bounties" can be placed to help turn 
these from mockup art to proof of concept code?  Would anyone currently 
working on this project be interested in collecting a bounty, and in 
what amounts?

I think that Kao Chen's idea on the project based workflow is a definite 
winner (please see the mockup 
http://nsa14.casimages.com/img/2010/05/07//100507083611878936.gif), and 
some effort should be put into coding this idea for further evaluation.  
Same for Tomasz Sterna's running application list.  I will thrilled to 
contribute in any way that I can, including paying bounties for these 
two features.
