[edit] Checklist

WORK IN PROGRESS!

For every accomplished task, please replace the 'open' field with 'closed' (with color:green), and put your name in the last column (Who). The "Who" field can also be used to assign tasks to specific people or to announce that you are working on a task. You should preferably put a link to your user account there, e.g. User:intrr.

As soon as the release is done and officially announced, this checklist should be reverted to the initial version with all fields marked red again.
