RE: [Mxflib-developers] Coding style

[Matt B. <ma...@be...>]

My usage of DRAGONS dates from 'The Arc' and has been reasonably common in 
some circles.  I can accept that the world has moved on a little and it may 
be worth updating to a more common version.

I suggest:
   1) We leave all uncataloged DRAGONS as they are...
   2) We sort out a cataloging system.  I think the SourceForge bug tracker 
could be used, but is perhaps a little cumbersome.  Any better suggestions?
   3) As each DRAGON is catalogued we turn it into a "TODO" or "FIXME".
   4) We consider a release policy at some stage...
