Would it be possible to have some page to track/show the changes/progress to the code? For some times, we had a lot of "i'm working on it but behind closed doors".

For that kind of tools, it would be nice to see the process of upgrading portmaster (or any other tool for that matter) and get a bit more familiar with the code.

Even a wip branch would be great to involve more people, and that way, people would be a bit less in the dark, but that is just my 2 cents...

Have a nice day,
