I cleaned it up a bit now, into ProjectIdeas (new stuff) and 
PotentialContributions (stuff made or in progress). I left re-naming and 
organizing it until we get even more stuff in there.

(I can't delete wiki pages, so there some completely empty pages in 
there now.)

Ok. Hm. It still sounds to me as if someone needs to do just that and 
make a list (so that the rest of us have a chance at knowing what will 
be in and not once we switch)? Or is it up to each core-dev to move 
'their' part?

Ok. I just added some small stuff to Changes1To2 from what I've heard 
here, to make it look better. Feel free to move things to the milestones.

Ok, so we have (in order of complexity and closeness to code):
- tests
- examples
- tutorials
- demos

Tests should go with the source, yes.

I could live with examples in the source _if_ they were properly 
referenced in doxygen and on the website.

Tutorials as they are now (move examples over to tutorials instead?)

Demos - not in dailybuild (separate pack there), but include in the 
large point release packs?

Yeah. Hm. I ought to contribute my 'hiresscreenshot' code. I got it to 
work pretty good (although it needs some improvement to be fully general.)

How about mentioned the Contrib-code on the wiki, as stuff that works 
but could use some 'serious testing' ?
