  	- start being a bit bolder about RKWard (descriptions, startup notification, etc.)
  
+ Some items I'd like to get done for 0.3.6 or whatever the next release is going to be called, if they don't take too long:
+ - RKEditorDataFrame
+ 	- undo/redo
+ 	- deletion of multiple rows/columns in one step
+ - Rework package management dialog
+ 	- use install.packages () to handle dependencies
+ 	- manage R library locations, install to location with user write access
+ 	- the UI should probably be simplified somehow. But how? All in a single list with "filter"? Ask for ideas/look at other apps
+ - Create an editor for single vectors/factors, or rework RKEditorDataFrame to handle those as well
+ - RObjectListView
+ 	- use icons to mark up the different base types
+ 	- limit width
+ - David's usability items
+ Optional stuff, that could possibly be attacked for 0.3.6:
+ - RExpressionObject as an abstraction for R-Expressions (i.e. manually edited expressions).
+ 	- It will be possible to "store" these in the RObjectList and select them just like any other object
+ 	- RKVarslot will allow editing the selected value by hand (or just typing the name in)
+ 		- How to do this nicely UI wise?
+ - RFunctionObject for user defined functions. Maybe later it will be possible to use for functions from packages as well
+ 	- would be nice, if it also had some knowledge about function arguments
+ 	- ideally it would also know about the type of the return value, but this may not be realistic
+ Timeframe for 0.3.6 release:
+ - It would be good, if we're at a releasable state within one month from now (i.e. mid May).
+ 	- if reasonably possible, I think we should release then, even if some of the desired features are still missing
+ 
  Little annoying stuff:
  - hide tabs in console
