Some time soon we'll desperately need a full features list.
Here's what I've (com)piled 😛.
Since I am not an original English speaker I'd like someone who is, to check my grammar and style (the text passed spelling check.)
I've separated the features in three groups but I was unable to sort them inside groups to make more sense than that.
I need more help on that!
Also, feel free to improve this list any way you wish.

Now you have been keeping yourself busy!!!:p 😛 😛

The list looks perfect to me.

The only thing I would change (personal preference) is numbering each item. I've found that makes discussing app upgrade lists easier.

While I'm on it, for item 12 of ADMINISTRATIVE FEATURES, SQL2005 has a new image data type (or revamped?). Since virus(s) can now travel via images, my boss has had me move all filesystem images into the database for security. Wouldn't that be a good idea here?

BTW...2 weeks in Italy...forgot the sunscreen!!!!:oops:

Very nice! Shouldn't be hard to create a simple HTML page that lists what you've got above!!! You could add it as a (hard coded) button to main menu!!

Stickied so this doesn't get lost in the ether....

As a new user of YAF, I'd like to suggest we (I'm including myself here) begin documentation/user guides for each of these features. This is clearly an excellent forum, but it is lacking documentation on use and administration of these features. I don't propose that this get done this week, or month, but that we just pick a feature and begin the docs.

We've been sorely lacking documentation for a good while, please feel free to contribute its why we have a wiki :-)
