<h2>Upcoming Features</h2>
+<p>The list below is something like a repository of ideas we'd like to
+implement. Features on this list are typically NOT scheduled for immediate
+inclusion. We maintain a
+<a href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=123448&atid=696555">feature
+request tracker at sourceforge.net</a>. This tracker has things typically within
+reach of implementation. Users are encouraged to submit feature requests there
+(or via our forums). If we like them but they look quite long-lived (aka &quot;not
+soon to be implemented&quot;), they will possibly be migrated to this list here and
+at some time moved back to the sourceforge tracker.</p>
