203 Note that we frequently cast a moderated poll on our
204 <a href="http://bb.linuxsampler.org/"">web forum</a> for
205 the next features to be implemented and problems / bugs to be
206 fixed soon. Don't hesitate to register to our forum and vote for
207 your feature!

210 <h2>Features</h2>
211 <p class="default">
212 The following list shows which features have already been implemented in
213 current CVS version of LinuxSampler and what is planned to be done in
214 (hopefully) near future. If you are missing something that is not already
215 listed below, you can write a proposol to the
216 <a href="http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linuxsampler-devel">
217 developers mailing list
218 </a>, open an "enhancement" request on our
219 <a href="http://bugs.linuxsampler.org">bug tracking system</a>
220 or even better send us your patch if you have done something. Even
221 if features are listed to be planned below, it can be that it takes a
222 while until somebody finds the time to implement it. So if you have the
223 time and will to finish one of them, let us know!
