Version 1.0 feature list

Voting is now closed; see the "decision" column for the final call. Trac milestones for all these features will be added shortly.

This is where we voted on the features we tossed around in ​this django-developers thread. Features that are done or nearly done have not been included.

Votes were done in the Apache style (+1/+0/-0/-1). These votes were not binding in any way other than to get a feel from the community for what features were deemed necessary.

(Votes are not on whether one *wants* the feature but on whether it should be included in a 1.0 release.)
