  These are the features that hold the build; fallbacks to be listed. To add something here you must be prepared to implement it, or know someone who is. Everything needs a name.
  
-  * SVN support by exec [stefan]
+  * SVN support by exec [stefan] (considered done w/ svn antlib? -MJB)
   * Local variables in macrodef
   * Fix for key IDE bugs (see eclipse, netbeans bugzillas) [all]
-  * flatten in libraries to WAR/EAR somehow (related to <libraries>) [stevel?]
+  * flatten in libraries to WAR/EAR somehow (related to <libraries>) [stevel?] (libraries status? -MJB)
-  * <classloader> to allow adding of jars to the current classloader (would solve a ''lot'' of problems at the cost of some issues) http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28228 [peter]

  Less critical, but still nice. Adding here is also a statement of intent.
  
-  * Java1.5 environment fetching. Ideally as part of a rework of Execute.getProcessEnv()
+  * Java1.5 environment fetching. Ideally as part of a rework of Execute.getProcessEnv() (if we plan to retrofit commons-exec in source after it stabilizes, maybe we should forego this at present? -MJB)
   * Doc improvements.
   * <propertyfile> in java tasks for loading properties straight from a file.
   * reduce number of outstanding bugzilla ''bugs'' by fixing them or declaring WONTFIX/Invalid.
   * reduce number of outstanding bugzilla ''enhancements'' by implementing some, or closing them off.
-  * include fetch.xml in redist package and integrate w/ maven2 artifacts
+  * include fetch.xml in redist package and integrate w/ maven2 artifacts (done? -MJB)
-  * retrofit Resource Collections to remaining appropriate tasks (mbenson)
  
  === ''Want'' Features Implemented ===
  
   * improve diagnostics when something like <junit> wont instantiate. i.e. distinguish "class not found" from "class not loadable" and explain why the difference. Maybe allow for per-task diagnostics text through a static member function, or extra markup in the taskdef.
-  * add Resource Collections (for arbitrary groups of file-like Resources); some tasks adapted.
+  * add Resource Collections (for arbitrary groups of file-like Resources); tasks adapted (thanks Stefan).
