  • IPC improvements
  • Porting nouveau via DRM
  • EFI/SCSI/PnP support
  • VPN
  • Samba/NFS, PPPoE
  • WiFi/GPS/Bluetooth
  • SMP

Libraries

  • SSL/TLS library (upd: MbedTLS ported) + make http.obj library use it for HTTPS support
  • pthread port
  • SDL2 port

Applications

  • Browser (Netsurf port, Picoweb, Aelia)
  • Graphics editor (Animage?)
  • Framework/toolkit (extend Box_lib?)
  • Spreadsheet editor (port Table to ASM)
  • Archive manager
  • IM clients
  • RTF editor
  • CD burner

Less important

  • Installer/installation suite
  • Undelete utility
  • Sound editor
  • CGI-complete web server
  • Database server
  • Computer information utility (Aida32-like)
  • Forth [1] our own

Completely ridiculous

  • ODBC & Java
  • ADO
  • An Apache-compatible web server
  • DBMS server as MySQL
  • Flash(TM)-player
  • A full-featured image editor like Photoshop(its 100%clone, please) or Fireworks
  • Php processor
  • MS Windows(TM) emulator
  • Good (3D) games

Minor requests

1. It's better to have <- and -> keys to hide/show windows; Let the system menu hide after the second click.
2. Add a killswitch to kill an application and/or fix games that do not support Alt+F4
3. File managers shaw a red banner when one tries to open an unknown file. It's quite hard to hide it even pressing 'X'. Better to close the banner with 'Enter' or/and Alt+F4, that's not to seek for the mouse..., esp if have no one.
4. KolibriOS lets applications to be launched many times. Hence, duplicate run of some diagnostic/testing programs is akin of a bug, esp taking into account there's no window shift of duplicates. I want to block such duplicates or at least shift their windows.
5. I want the Undo option in Tinipad (Ctrl+Z / Undo) at least for 2-3 last steps (15-20 better). It will greatly stimulate in-system development
6. Hard disk write for all VM
