Textframes:
- work with Pierre to integrate Harfbuzz
- integrate a complex script shaper, probably in cooperation with  
Rajeev Sebastian
- prepare textframes for external XML
- provide scripter bindings for more textframe features

Styles:
- extend style system to other types of styles (object styles, line  
styles)
- clean up style manager / properties palette (I guess that's where  
everyone should help out)

Fonts:
- maybe include customizable and virtual fonts

Canvas:
- clean up canvas code

At the end of 1.3.6, the work I started with 1.3.4 should be stable  
and presented by a finished GUI.
I guess Pierre will state his goals resp. OpenType font features.


After 1.3.6:

- store text content as external XML+CSS
- paragraph layouter
- tables in textframes
