-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) [Radhika]
-* UPNP [Milan]
-
-Urgent items (before announcing ng.gnunet.org):
-* topology
- - needs testing
-* hostlist
- - test fails (peers don't connect quickly, could be topology issue)
- - crashes:

-* CORE:
- - soliciting traffic for clients that registered for it is not implemented
- (in the service, client API supports GNUNET_MESSAGE_TYPE_CORE_SOLICIT_TRAFFIC
- but never receives any such messages); how to avoid busy-waiting here
- is a good question (solicit => nothing, when to solicit again???)

- - 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!)
-* STATISTICS:
- - synchronous/asynchronous API (& implementation) is not nice
- - 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!]
-* Module features to implement:

- (add options to gnunet-search / gnunet-download to limit search to local peer)
+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
+* 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
+
+0.9.3:

+ - sending (SMTP/SMTPS)
+ - receiving (IMAP/IMAPS/POP?)
+ - rate limiting
+ - improved batching
+ - resource limit integration with ATS
+* VPN
+ - "DNS" .gnunet [MW]
+* MESH:
+ - optimized routes (beyond DHT/DV)
