*** Support plural forms for Gettext
** '''June 5 - data structure freeze'''
*** (much) Shorter names for classes, methods and method arguments needed. We should create a naming convention for that, probably. [[Silme:Naming_convention|Brainstorming page with proposals]].

** Take entity, process it, and not return the source name of the entity, but the "processed" value
** Silme users then can see the actual structure of the sentence
 
* Split to repositories
** Silme Library
** Silme Scripts
** Easier to package in easy_install
** Maintain the library code

**  Bug [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=491715 491715]
 
* Clean obsolete scripts
**  '''Feature explanation:'''  This feature will allow obsolete entities within a localization to be removed using a Silme command.
