Post60CoreUIWorkPlan
UI Core Work Plan - post 6.0
- Following tasks are primarily for engineers Dafe (dsimonek) & Standa (saubrecht), later hopefully Marek (mslama)
- Tasks are listed in work order for engineers, first in list is first to be worked on. Order isn't fixed and may change in future.
- Work on several tasks may go in parallel, engineers will work together on some tasks
- Plan is optimistic although not complete, we expect that we'll *not* be able to implement all listed things
Legend:
- Status field: empty = work not started yet
- Overall, empty field indicates that value has not been decided yet or is not available
