-Implementable right now (but not necessarily important), with caveats
-(unavailable components that will limit what can be implemented right
-away), in order in which they will likely be done:
-* TESTING-TESTBED [Nate]
-* SETUP
-* DV [Nate]
-* TBENCH
-* TRACEKIT
-* FRAGMENTATION [Ji Lu]
-* HTTP transport
-* MySQL / Postgres plugins (datastore, datacache)
-* UPNP [Milan]
-* ARM [Safey]
-
-Urgent items (before announcing ng.gnunet.org):
-* TRANSPORT:
- - main service not implemented [Nate]
- - testcases crash & burn (no surprise)
-* CORE:
- - outbound message monitoring not supported [Christian]
- - test currently fails spectacularly [segv of transport service]
- => need transport to work first!
- - request connect not working [Christian, need transport first]
-* TOPOLOGY:
- - needs testing [need transport first]
-* HOSTLIST:
- - needs testing [need transport first]
-* FS (basic anonymous FS only)
- - implement FS service (P2P operations)
- + how to send queries (soliciting is not there in core; do we
- also want to do pushing sometimes?)
- + need to bound queueing of replies for other peers
- - test multi-peer search/download
-* new webpage
- - run peer => have a 0.9.x hostlist
- - improve basic documentation (configure, dependencies, what works, etc.)
- - write minimal welcome/introduction to 0.9.x-development/webpage/status
-=> Deploy(able) development network
-
-
-0.9.0pre0:
-* UTIL:
- - load: need way to determine network load (up/down)
- - trust: need *fast* way to check/update trust in peers
- (async peerinfo would not be right)
- - OS: existing waitpid call is not nice (not integratable with scheduler! fix this!)
- => should 'scheduler' support SIGCHILD explicitly? Always?
-* STATISTICS:
- - synchronous/asynchronous API (& implementation) is not nice;
- => provide notification-based API
- - does not seem to work with timeouts (especially if service is not running)
-* ARM:
- - need to get rid of synchronous API for service starts (cause all kinds of problems)
- [=> eliminate for need to tell ARM about service starts most of the time!] [Safey]
-* HELLO:
- - need function to test "equivalency" of HELLOs; use in topology!
-* Module features to implement:
- - advanced FS API parts
- + namespaces: fundamental namespace API

+0.9.1:
+* TRANSPORT: [MW]
+ - 'TransmitFunction' requires plugins to have "unbounded" queue (or at least
+ queue of size > 2), might be better to have at MOST one message pending
+ per plugin/target and only send the next one after the continuation was
+ called (or use 'notify_transmit_ready-style API?)
+ - WLAN transport backend [DB]
+ - need to periodically probe latency/transport cost changes & possibly switch transport
+ (working ATS)
+* DV:
+ - proper bandwidth allocation
+ - performance tests
+* PEERINFO:
+ - merge multiple HELLOs of the same peer in the transmission queue
+ (theoretically reduces overhead; bounds message queue size)
+ - merge multiple iteration requests over "all" peers in the queue
+ (theoretically reduces overhead; bounds messgae queue size)
* STATISTICS:
- should use BIO instead of mmap
-* PEERINFO:
+* FS: [CG]
+ - Remove KBlocks in gnunet-unindex (see discussion with Kenneth Almquist on gnunet-devs in 9/2009)
+ - use different queue prioritization for probe-downloads vs. normal downloads
+ - re-implement gnunet-auto-share
+ - implement 'GNUNET_FS_file_information_create_from_directory', avoiding
+ code duplication with gnunet-gtk's similar code (!)
+* GNUNET-GTK: [CG]
+ - add tool bar
+ - do meaningful update to status line (starting up, peer running, #connections, shutdown, ...)
+ - add progress dialog for 'add_dir_at_iter' scan (can take a while...)
+ - NS list in search dialog should use colors to offset our own namespaces from the others
+ - right-clicking on NS list in search dialog should open menu that allows
+ * viewing full meta data
+ * deletion of namespace info
+ - implement unindex operation (use dialog with all indexed files for selection)
+ - finish publish dialog details:
+ + normalize keywords (edit subdialog)
+ - implement download by URI dialog; figure out where to display those downloads!
+ - add combo box to select desired mime type for search
+* ARM: [CG]
+ - better tracking of which config changes actually need to cause process restarts by ARM.
+ - handle gnunet-arm -k in combination with auto-start magic (what is the right thing here?)
+ - discover dependencies between services
+
+0.9.2:
+* PEERINFO: [NN]
- expire 'ancient' HELLOs (those without valid addresses AND that
we have not 'used' (for their public keys) in a while; need a way
to track actual 'use')
- make sue we also trigger notifications whenever HELLOs expire
+* WLAN:
+ - nice signal strength adjustment [MW]
+ - energy cost in ATS [MW]
+* BLOCKS:
+ - testcase would be nice
+* STATISTICS:
+ - implement statistics GUI (=> start from gnunet-gtk by button!)
+* PEERINFO: [NN]
+ - move peerinfo to new GUI (=> start from gnunet-gtk by button!)
+ - extend peer dialog with green-yellow-red connectivity status lights
+ - extend peer dialog with country flags and names
