Here are some tasks which spring to mind for me. Most are very general though and aren’t down to a level you exemplified.
- Network
-- Allow setting of address information via ncpa. (This is the only remaining task for the current 0.3.0 roadmap) -- Salvage the sockets library from Alex’s branch and merge to the development branch. -- Build on the existing NDIS model introducing support for IM drivers -- Add a default firewall including GUI for user interaction of the fundamental aspects. -- Add support for packet routing with Network Address Translation. -- Assist and merge with a Win32 port of SMB.
- Security
-- Start to build on the current framework providing basic OS security -- Implement logon / logoff facility linking in with our gina library.
- Filesystem
-- Replace the primary filesystem in place of a journaling system.
- NT Services
-- Add support for starting and stopping services
- Multimedia
-- Continue development on DX initially aiming for hardware accelerated playability of key games. -- Improve support for existing sound model.
- Explorer
