Attic:Requests/bf-blender Requests Tracker

This page needs to be redone for mediawiki, in particular table

being out of sync with current release, the features request tracker is unusable. However after cleaning, there is a quite some good ideas in it.

[128&group_id&funcbrowse features requests tracker] (actually access restricted to coders)

here is the current state with my comments. We should clean and use this. Note that the most ancient request may well have been added since.

Please use only short comments in the tables. if a longer explanation is needed, use a link. initial comments are mine, use initials to identify yours
