-### Better integration with R installations
+### "First run wizard" or check installation feature
-**Description**: By default, RKWard will now offer to install R packages to the same user library location as a regular R session, making it easier to switch back and forth between RKWard and a plain R command line session. Further, RKWard's own R package no longer needs to be installed during build-time, but will be installed in a dedicated location as needed. This makes it easier to use RKWard with several separate installations of R (provided, they are binary compatible; different patch releases will generally work), and should help avoid
-related installation problems.
+**Description**: To check for - and if feasible, correct - common setup problems.
**Points for discussion / issues**:
-The R_LIBDIR cmake parameter is made obsolete by this change.
+Run for each new version. No way to install external software, yet.

-### Script previews, including R markdown
-**Description**: The script editor has gained live previews. This can be used to view the
-rendering of an R Markdown (.Rmd) script, comfortably, while typing. But also, you can preeview scripted plots, RKWard output, or R Console output while developing.
+### Integration of kate plugins
+
+**Description**: Many useful plugins, e.g. search in files, are available from kate. RKWard should be able to embed these.
+
+**Points for discussion / issues**:
+Not all kate plugins make sense in the context of RKWard, and for some others, the way the UI is merged is not yet ideal.

+### Bring enhanced code hinting features to the R Console window
+
+**Description**: Script editor windows have much improved code hinting abilities, now. Merge these into the R Console window.
**Points for discussion / issues**:
+I'm not quite happy with the behavior e.g. when typing "?print<Enter>", yet (requires <Enter> twice)
