| ===== Procedure ===== |
| In case you have a feature (or file format) request, please follow these steps: |
| |
| * check whether (and if so since when) the feature/format you wish to request is already on the list below |
| * write an email to **//info (AT) neuroelf (DOT) net//**, stating the request (or asking to prioritize the request) |
| * wait for a reply by email and also... |
| * check back on this page to see if it's on the list or the status has been updated |
