beta, 'R' = release, '+' = strictly wishlist item).  Next column to the right
is status: 'D' = done, 'T' = testing, 'W' = working on it, ' ' = pending, 'I'
= just an idea right now, 'N' = we decided not to do it at all, 'C' = comment,
'P' = pilot error, 'R' = repeat.  Next comes the initials of the people
