[musamarcusso]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to make a list of the all the features/bugs/documentation tasks that need to be finished soon, so I am creating this issue tracker here that I will be updating and listing so I can have a better overview. Please, feel free to add a comment on what you any improvements or fixes you think are most important for you and your project, it will help a lot. All contributions are most welcome :)
