Revision as of 04:34, 8 October 2009

This page is meant to collect ideas on how to make CZ better, both in a fundamental or incremental way, with a focus on practical rather than theoretical improvements. We need an overview here, so please do not use more than about 50 words per field and link to other pages (on the forum, or in the CZ or user namespaces) if further information is necessary.

Please sort by priority (from 5=crucial to 1=nice to have to 0=neutral to -1=counterproductive), and if a problem was solved, move it to a similar table at the bottom of this page.
