I would have liked to ask Niels Elken S=F8nderbys (in CC here) if he would=
=20
merge his
SVJD code (http://www.nielses.dk/quantlib/nesquant/) into QuantLib before=20
the next release. I don't remember if he is already a quantlib-dev=20
subscriber: if I didn't invite you before Niels, please accept my apologies=
=20
and consider this an open invitation.
To add the code should be easy enough, but it would make sense to add a=20
unit test too.
Of course we might just add SVJD for 0.3.5, especially if the merge+test=20
take longer than 1 week.
BTW Niels: please consider to actively work on the current CVS, I grant you=
=20
we will make it clear what your (master thesis) work consists ;-)

Another thing I would like to have fixed is the broken Borland=20
documentation. Luigi: I'm sure it will take few minutes of your time ;-)

A 0.3.4 related issue: I would like to remove my personal address=20
fer...@am... (which I'm going to suspend for a few months due to=
=20
excessive spam > 300 messages per day) from the "You should have received a=
=20
copy of the license along with this program; if not, please email=20
fer...@am..." file header. Suggestion about which address could=
=20
be used instead? What about qua...@li... ?

since you were planning to be backward compatible for one release on=20
namespace flattening, why don't we do it for 0.3.4?
