I've been wondering how to get the feature request counter down for quite a while now. It seems that whenever I have made any progress, new feature requests come in to fill the void. While VaultWiki 4 has been in public testing, it's been difficult to make any dent, since there always seemed to be new bug reports and those had to take priority.

But since the core product seems relatively stable now, it's probably a good time to start focusing on the runaway feature requests.

So I've devised a challenge to myself I suppose, to eliminate at least 1 feature request from the tracker per day, for the foreseeable future. Whether by actually implementing the feature, deciding it's a duplicate, or otherwise closing it. I originally thought: what about a 60 features in 60 days plan, but in the end I think that is unrealistic. Some features in the list are major additions that would each take several days to complete, at least the way they are logged now.

Let this blog be a chronicling of my attempt at this challenge, with the dates and features listed below:
