Note that we frequently cast a moderated poll on our |

<a href="http://bb.linuxsampler.org/"">web forum</a> for |
| 176 |
the next features to be implemented and problems / bugs to be |
| 177 |
fixed soon. Don't hesitate to register to our forum and vote for |

your feature! |

<h2>Features</h2> |
| 182 |
<p class="default"> |
| 183 |
The following list shows which features have already been implemented in |
| 184 |
current CVS version of LinuxSampler and what is planned to be done in |
| 185 |
(hopefully) near future. If you are missing something that is not already |
| 186 |
listed below, you can write a proposol to the |
| 187 |
<a href="http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linuxsampler-devel"> |
| 188 |
developers mailing list |
| 189 |
</a>, open an "enhancement" request on our |
| 190 |
<a href="http://bugs.linuxsampler.org">bug tracking system</a> |
| 191 |
or even better send us your patch if you have done something. Even |
| 192 |
if features are listed to be planned below, it can be that it takes a |
| 193 |
while until somebody finds the time to implement it. So if you have the |
| 194 |
time and will to finish one of them, let us know! |
