It doesn't appear that this email got to the list.

It seems to me that the roadmap is not realistic, and that we should
really be focussing on a couple of major features rather than a
variety of small ill-defined features.

For 0.5, I would suggest:

- Podcasting support
- Complete ACL implementation

Is there anything else we want to achieve for 0.5?

I think those 2, will keep us (well developers ;) ) busy enough, I would say to stick with those, and I think they are both significant for apparent reasons.

Just my JOD0.02 ;)

Just wanted to add that some of the tickets already have patches, and we may consider committing the ones that do not seem to need futher implementation.

I wasn't meaning nothing else should happen, just that if we have a
roadmap it should be minimal and specific.

Because I problem with cyrillic letters - here http://mondragona.com/blog/
you can look at the post. Habari isn't' working as wordpress, which is
making transliteration of cyrillic letters in the into latinic ones
and URL is fine then.
Tags written in Cyrillic also didn't work. I've wrote about 4
different tags there, separated by comma, but only last one of them
are shown and it's not working the same {$slug} problem
