Plans (open for anyone who wants to participate)

We manage our development plans in Jira. This search shows what we currently plan for 10.1. It shows all tasks with the Fix-Version being 10.1. Not all these tasks will really end up in 10.1, but tasks with the "red" priorities (, , and ) have a much higher chance of being done in time for 10.1. Practically, you can think of these tasks as "features that will be in 10.1". Tasks with the "green" priorities ( and ) probably won't be in 10.1. Think of them as "bonus features that would be nice to have in 10.1". Although, as you can see, some of these tasks are already Closed, that is, they are already in 10.1.
