Your Personal To-Do List

[Augustus Lucifer]

Some people, including myself, like to keep a to-do list or we forget what it is we need to do. You can do so in a notepad file if you like, or on Google Docs, but you're also welcome to use this thread to make a post and edit it to your liking so it lists the things you're working on.

You may also use this thread to remind devs about things that should be on their to-do list. Posts which contain reminders rather than to-do lists will be deleted once the item has either been added to a to-do list or has been stated as not being worked on at this time, so that the thread is kept relatively clean.

Due to the pending transition to version control software from our slipshod compiling and merging method up to this point, changelogs are already handled by way of file commits to the repository. That procedure will be explained at length in due time in a separate thread.
