i guess you mean 2006

well, I don't think so, because it's quite some effort (at least 1) if 
you really think it through, whereas the good news is that the task is 
nearly done and this is why we wrote "completion ..."

actually yes, but since the schema related stuff is quite an effort and 
we want to use some features already we have to do a compromise

yes, this is a USP (unique selling proposition) of Yulup indeed, but I 
think Yulup has many more USPs

well, the reason for the current roadmap is that we are using Yulup in 
production and need specific features (new/save as/upload/delete) 
already in order to use Yulup as a day-to-day tool. Also it's a matter 
of resources from a human point of view and a financial point of view.

I also would like to invest much more into the harder things, but this 
would mean we need more resources. Any suggestions, contributions, help 
is very much appreciated and would allow to tackle various problems in 
parallel.

I think we have made great progress over the last couple of months and I 
think we are still on the right track and I am very optimistic for the 
future, because for instance myself I am using Yulup on a daily basis 
and it's a joy to edit content and I am glad the pain of using other 
tools has gone :-)
