  • This article lists ideas for future Categories-Tree maintenance, strategy for implementation, as well as pertinent notes for each idea, so that they do not get "lost" in the growing discussion in the forums.

Idea: Article: Software that can copy-paste data

  • Idea: "...article to identify which applications have the ability to copy the frequency data into their application editor"
  • Idea: "an article to document the applications that can copy/paste data from the wiki"
  • Status: In Progress. The article already exists, but documentation needs to be added to show which BuTel products could actually copy data from the wiki (or if they all can)


Idea: List Amateur Radio Networks

  • Note: Could be treated as a new category, or built as an article.
  • Idea: "listing amateur radio networks in the Wiki"
  • Status: Pending
