Copyright 2005 Gentoo Technologies, Inc.

If you are working or plan to work on a task here put your name by it.

Things still needing to be done for the BETA release:
	Backend:
		GLIArchitectureTemplate.build_kernel():
			- test with 2.4 kernels
			- Check custom config for correct initrd support when using genkernel
			- hotplug/coldplug are NOT always needed with genkernel.
			- might need to pass --udev/--evms2/--lvm2/--dmraid to genkernel.
			- Source might not be in /usr/src/linux
		In Progress:
		Fix the hacked up exception code.
		secondary progress bar and X of Y for emerge notifications
		partitioning error checking.
		add distcc support
		add r_pppoe configuration stuff.
		network mounts into the fstab
	DialogFE:
		support for /etc/portage/*
	gli-dialog: 
	- functions left to code:
		IP's __init__
		save_install_profile
		make partitioning mountpoint choice a menu.
	- then i need to do these:
		line wrap runthrough
		fix USE flag pre-checking.
		fix add_user group pre-checking.
		add etc/portage support
	gtkFE:
		listed in fe/gtk/TODO

Things to put into a later version:
	
Future feature requests:
