Hi Michael,
Thank you for taking time out to give me those interesting answers.
Lots of food for thought there, as has been the case in the past after
discussing with you.
I'll be arming up for work on the online help and the code base in the

Sorry, I just want to add this small comment/question to my preceding
posts in this thread:
I have been searching around, and I have not been able to find an
official development roadmap of any kind. For sure, there's detailed
information about planned release dates going far into the future [1].
Hi Michael,
Thanks for the answers. I don't have time to reply in detail this

intend to let go of this subject, but will be planning my next
"attack" (let me register that as a joke already) on the discuss list.
I'll be coming up
