This is only the calendar, not the content.

For the features, the main line is DIP driven. Big changes come 
from this, always. Then all the regressions, critical, major, 
industry, compiler crashes, bugs.

There are also tendencies, usually started from News Group 
discussions. For example since a few days the tendency is to work 
on reducing the memory use. A few weeks ago it was about 
templates and their cost.

Tendencies are not necessarily followed by many contributors. For 
example since several weeks  Wlater Bright is working on 
replacing the internal data structures used in the back end, and 
almost alone. Just to highlight the fact that there can be 
coherant (non random) initiatives.

Then the remainings bits are indivudally driven, good willing 
driven, mood driven...
for example if someone finds a problem and that he can fix it by 
himself then he does.
