Kolibri tomorrow

NOTE! A lot of the information here is now on Google Summer of Code 2013.

Priorities

Kernel/Drivers

• AHCI [Serge/CleverMouse(?)]
• APIC [Serge/CleverMouse(?)]
• SMP [Serge/CleverMouse(?)]
• ACPI [Serge/CleverMouse(?)]
• Native SATA access (not as /bd - BIOSdisk, but direct) [Mario]
• LBA48 support (Currently we have 'LBA32' ) [Mario]
• IPC improvements
• Device enumeration without reboot (Plug&Play)

Less important

GUI

• GUI redesign
• More fonts
• Single-application desktop
• Transparent windows

Kernel/Drivers

• Full NTFS support (reading is done, no writing yet)
• Porting nouveau via DRM
• EFI/SCSI/PnP support
• WiFi/GPS/Bluetooth

Network

• Network drivers [hidnplayr]
• Proper LAN system with auto-configuration [hidnplayr]
• VPN
• Samba/NFS, PPPoE, ...

Other

• Fully working HDD boot
• Installer/installation suite
• PE or PE-related executable format support.
• Forth ([[1]]) our own
  

Applications

Need work/rewriting/etc.

• Framework/toolkit (extend Box_lib?)
• File manager (Eolite)
• Media player (MIDAMP/Fplay/AC97 MP3 player)
• Spreadsheet editor (port Table to ASM)

New ones needed

• Proper desktop (current)
• Graphics editor (Animage?)
• Browser (HTMLv has no proper html support, Netsurf port still needs works)
• Archive manager
• IM clients
• RTF editor?
• CD burner

Ideas/less important

• Undelete utility
• Sound editor
• CGI-complete web server
• Database server
• Computer information utility (Aida32-like)

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
