 # (if time allows) add cool new things to the [scenario_metadata] tag, such as allowing defining in WML your own sliders/comboboxes in the game creation screen.
 # (after GSoC) Following the regular Wesnoth depreciation schedule, drop support for [campaign] in x next release and unwire the old code from the old main menu. Create a fancy GUI for new MP creation screen, instead of GUI hacks that will probably be used during the summer (I put the engine functionality first).
-#* even if I happen to leave the team after the GSoC (which, as can be read in my questionnaire, I don't plan on), it should be easy to unwire the old code for another developer. That's my argument for allowing UMC authors who are using dev releases (as opposed to SVN trunk) a gracious transition by leaving the old code and campaign dialog there in the release after GSoC.
