My plans for 2014

[Eric Kohl]

Hi!

since 2013 is almost over, it is time to make some plans for 2014.

My primary goals for 2014 are:
- Completing the user account management, user logon and password change.
- Fixing winlogon.exe in order to enable users to lock and unlock the 
computer and to change their identity (log-off  and log-on again).
- Fix potential bugs in userenv.dll. We need to get rid of the 
administrator logon hack in syssetup.dll.
- Fix the system shutdown: We need to terminate applications and 
services before the machine shuts down.

Secondary goals are:
- Implement PNP support for scsiport.sys.
- Improvements to PNP and driver installation.
- Get some legacy hardware working (parallel port, PCMCIA).

The items of this list and their priorities are not fixed. I reserverve 
the right to make changes to this list or to work on something entirely 
different, without prior notice.


Happy new year!

Regards
Eric

That sounds great!

My New Year's resolutions:
- Finish the DIB code rewrite
- Add more annotations, with focus on win32k and ntoskrnl
- Implement GCC SEH support for C++
- If time allows work on font engine rewrite
- Continue with my secret project(s) ;-)

Happy new year,
Timo

Hi Eric!

Nice plan :) ; by the way for your log-on/off stuff, you may need a proper
working (and implemented) NtUnloadKey2 which is called from the
corresponding Win32 api, for unloading registry hives (user profiles and
co.) Currently it is #if 0'ed out, and I've checked that enabling it doesn't
make it working correctly.
So we need somebody with a (good) knowledge of NTOS registry code to see
what's missing / not working.

Cheers,
H.

Since some of us have hardware, let us all work on USB support. I have a 4
G Lexar usb drive FAT32 for testing. User32 is in an okay state for a
while, I can hack layered support in this year. So how about that? Getting
USB done shouldn't be a hard issue if we work on it together..
