As Joseph has currently stopped work on the neural nets I think we can 
assume the engine is good enough for a version 1.
Perhaps we could increase the version number to 0.2 just as a symbolic 
move away from gtk 1.3?

I think most people would agree there are more than enough "features" in 
gnubg for a first release, for me the weak areas are on the 
documentation side (help, manual, website) and the ui (usability).

The main thing outstanding on my todo list is the front end for the 
database statistics.  I then plan to move on to tidying/making the ui 
easier to use.

Sounds like a good plan.
