		Index Generator 3.0 Wish List
		=============================

This is by no means complete. From a recent read-through, this is mostly rubbish. If you do have serious issues to be added though, please send them to me. I will add all wishes to this file in the future and will eventually get around to sorting and prioritising them. Ideally, this should be split into two  groups - gui and backend. Oh well, perhaps one day I will find the time...
