<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.
+is the completion of documentation updates.
