[Svenn-Arne Dragly <s@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm unable to attend the meeting on Friday, but will catch up by 
reading the logs. Feel free to reorganize the blueprint items. I think 
most of them are fine, but I'm sure you guys will figure out if 
anything is missing or needs to be removed/reprioritized.

@Joey: It is good that you put focus on the project plan. Although I 
think we'll move forward just fine with the current work items, a more 
complete plan can only make things even better.
@David: Thanks for the encouraging words! I didn't know about the wiki 
page, but that seems like a good place to summarize the current 
development and plan in addition to the blueprints.
