Copyright 2005 John Judd

This page details the plans in store for PyUI2. If anyone would like to help with any of these, especially if you want to move something up on the schedule, drop me an email or a post on the forums. Any contributions are welcome.

Bright Ideas

These items are ideas that would be good to have in a future release of PyUI2, but haven't been planned into a schedule. They may or may not ever actually get implemented. If a decision is made to implement a bright idea, it will be moved to the appropriate release table.

Item	Status
Implement a device and graphics context for The Nebula Device 2.
Create a WYSIWYG GUI editor application.
Create a WYSIWYG Theme editor application.
