# Change a minus to a plus when something is being worked on.
# Remove it when you are done.
- Run spellcheck before you commit.
- Remove small/extraneous pages (merge them as a section with another).
- Create some conventions. Capitalize Simba whenever it occurs, and pick
either color or colour (it'd probably be best to use color, as the code
seems to use it).
- Find stuff to add to this list.

Fast
~~~~
The Simba developers have designed and written Simba with speed in mind.
However, focussing too much on speed is in reality not a good case.
It often leads to instability and more bugs in the program.
For Simba, we have sacrificed some speed to make a more featureful
and stable program.
Nevertheless, Simba is quite fast.
