There were a huge amount of development discussions, ideas and brainstorming at our meeting. It was really inspiring! Here is a list so far, split into categories but not particularly ordered. As you can see some ideas are small and easily implemented, some discussions related to existing feature requests and others are much huger ideas which we have always hoped for, but will take longer to integrate to the code.

As you can see some ideas are small and easily implemented, some discussions related to existing feature requests and others are much huger ideas which we have always hoped for, but will take longer to integrate to the code.

Completed ideas have a version number next to them.
