Software roadmap

Development Plan

Timeline	Phenote
September 2007	Search field for character list tables. Filter out table rows by simple text matching.
	Ontology mode for search field. Show only rows using a term descending from the search term.
	Character matrix view of entered data. Read-only.
October 2007	Improved menu handling. User should be able to access common application commands while any window is in front. On Mac, menu should properly use Quit menu and other standard menu items.
	Improved document opening/saving functionality. User should be able to quickly save a document to the same file it was opened from. User should be able to open multiple documents simultaneously.
	Editable character matrix for data entry as well as viewing.
November 2007	Annotation using temporary terms, when an appropriate term is not available in an ontology. Ability to update these terms to official term once it is available.

Phenote: Should be feature-complete for essential character annotation work by curators.
