Kolibri tomorrow
NOTE! A lot of the information here is now on Google Summer of Code 2013.
Priorities
Kernel/Drivers
- ext2/ext3 writing support [Shikhin]
- XFS support [dunkaist]
- USB [CleverMouse]
- 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
