I am with Axel on this (and it was my position since 2001) - R1 is absolutely 
the most important thing. I hope that you end up running out of things to do, 
because that means that R1 is out and (virtually) bug free. 

Of course, I still have my plans for R2... :-)

I guess we can see how this works out in practice. Besides that, the basic idea 
behind all tasks should be getting R1 completed.

Personally, I would love to see Haiku cover at least the basics, ie. push 
WebPositive the last mile needed to make it a real alternative to BeZilla or 
other browsers, have perfectly working POP3 and IMAP again, and finally, make 
it a really nice working media platform (ie. full support for subtitles, and 
DVD playback for the Media Kit, and therefore the MediaPlayer).

Bye,
   Axel.
