Tech/LxEngine/Features & Tasks
From Athile
These features represent design ideas. The feature designs exist independently of the current roadmap. The term 'feature' is used here in the broadest sense and may include both user visible feature requests (with little regard to implmentation) to specific internal-only architecture projects design to improve future development.

Feature Page Index
Below is a list of all pages in the "Features" group. These pages represent notes and descriptions on features at all stages of development: proposed features, work-in-progress features, and finished features. The Roadmap provides the most up-to-date look at the project status. The Feature pages are primarily used for development notes and are not updated unless there is a specific request for more information on the page.
