road map
we are in the very last stages of planning our playground. So, much of what is on this roadmap is passed for us. it very good if we were at the beginning stages, but wondering how to bypass?

If you've already completed a number of tasks, just be sure to write down all of your accomplishments and post them to your project page. Once you've posted it, go in and click the "Finished?" link next to each task. This will send KaBOOM! an approval request, which we can then go in and approve once we check to see that you've done the work. Please let me know if you have any other questions!
