DyneBolic development TODO list

developer open tasks
- desktop icons (or slit app) to mount/unmount the floppy disk
- add wordprocessing: Ted and AbiWord
- add filesystem maintainance tools: fsck and others
- support for USB keyboards and mice (jaromil working on it)
- default dynebolic users chat room (is there ANYBODY doing an XCHAT.BOL ? then configuring it with a default server and that's it)
- mud client for anatolia on telnet://dyne.org:6001
more multiuser network games
also freeciv.bol would be great!!
- add 3D, video streaming and editing application (GNU/GPL Blender, cinelerra, openmash, ffmpeg) for wider excaptance of Linux as multimedia authoring platform
- upgrade mozilla bol and include MIME/TYPES and BOOKMARKS also for links
- make abiword bol
- make a gtk ftp client bol
- make a jabber client bol
- make mame bol (COIN-OP EMULATOR edition, any volunteer??)
- make a sylpheed.bol and integrate it with gpg!!
- make harddisk stable conf/home space (like floppy save, also save on hd)
- add a simple tftp server and client
documentation
- document the process of making .bol packages
ideas for future dynebolic releases
- Screensaver support: Something like xlock or other known X tools.
- Energy saving support in the dynebolic kernel.
- Advanced multiuser support (maybe for the use in schools and activity centers):
- the mounting and umounting of devices for non-root users should be as simple as possible (e.g. Rox shouldn't start usb devices as root and the changing of some /dev/... permissions)
XDM could have some restart and shutdown buttons. (Howto)
the sudoers file should be more look like a common linux one - for a simple use of the sudo command:
Defaults targetpw
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
%users ALL=(ALL) ALL
%users ALL = NOPASSWD:/opt/xfce/libexec/xfsm-shutdown-helper
