== Proposals for new functionality ==

Proposals are developed on the WIKI so others can get a better understanding of what a developer wants to add to !GeoNetwork opensource before it is accepted in the core.
When writing a proposal, you should use the [wiki:GIP proposal template] as starting point. Add your proposal to the list below. When proposal is ready for vote, a [http://trac.osgeo.org/geonetwork/newticket ticket] should be opened and a patch attached when available.

Proposals require [wiki:PSC Project Steering Committee] approval before they can be accepted.
