After some confusion over the stages of the development plan[*], Gerald
preapproved a patch to develop.html. I volunteered to put up some kind of
table showing the dates, phases, and resulting branchpoints. As it turns
out, I can't come up with an HTML table that conveys the same "flowing
timeline" impression as Gerald's ASCII art. (Good thing I never went into
advertising or drawing.)
This can serve for now... at minimum, it should reduce the confusion amongst
the developers ourselves. Pretty-looking HTML replacements are solicited.
[*] Why do I feel like calling it the GCC Five-Year Plan?
