 * Assign tickets to "alpha 2.4", "beta 2.4", "RC 2.4" and 2.4.0
1. Replacing openvpnserv.exe with [http://nssm.cc NSSM]
 * Proof of concept is ready and works
  * If OpenVPN dies, NSSM restarts it immediately
  * NSSM installs itself as a Windows system service, meaning that the setup survives a reboot
  * Just bundling nssm.exe is adequate as-is for the corporate use-case
 * NSSM configuration GUI / command-line is too difficult for generic end users
  * All nitty gritty details have to be configured manually for every connection after install
 * NSSM configuration has to be made more automatic
  * Writing a full-fledged application (e.g. C# + Winforms) would be an overkill
  * A [https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee692768.aspx HTML application] (.hta) running in a browser is probably the least bad solution
   * Due to the need for privileged operations the browser needs to be Internet Explorer
   * The code itself will be Javascript that runs privileged operation in Windows Scripting Host (WSH) and parses the results
  * More discussion in Samuli's [http://sourceforge.net/p/openvpn/mailman/message/34237056/ mailing list monologue]
1. !SourceForge's modifications of project files
  * Sourceforge has been silently adding adware to project installers, thus betraying the trust of the project's using their service 
  * Many projects have already left !SourceForge  
   * Statements from [https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/notepad-plus-plus-leaves-sf.html Notepad++] and [https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list/2015-May/msg00144.html Gimp]
   * Should we follow suit?
1. Windows 8.1 DNS registration issues
 * [ticket:399 Issue with register-dns in Windows 8.1]
 * [ticket:516 ipconfig failing to execute during VPN connection]
 * Who will fix and how?
