Overview
This page serves as a central location for GnuCash's PR planning. It is currently setup for the 2.2.0 release. See also gnucash-devel thread http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2007-May/020595.html
Here's the point: When 2.2.0 is released it will be a big deal. With this release we break into the mass market: Windows.
