#COMMUNITY TODO:
#
#Pending:
# *	Integrate Inferno or 'native' dis in main Plan 9 distribution
# *	Fix licenses to allow better sharing of components with other
#	projects(troff, ?c, ...)
# *	open up 9trouble
# *	Release management plan(proposal: daily snapshots; full release
#	every six months)
# *	Installer/bootable system unification, floppy deprecation
# *	Move ports page to wiki
# *	Do something about comp.os.inferno and comp.lang.limbo (what
#	about comp.os.plan9?)
# *	issue/bug/task/feature tracking system? (bugfs?)
# *	9grid.net update
# *	Have http://public.www.planetmirror.com/pub/plan9/ updated
#
#In progress:
#
# *	sources mirrors (20h, nashi, uriel,nemo)
# *	Better documentation, in particular document devlopment process
#	and how to get involved. (uriel)
# *	Reduce split of codebases and documentation between p9p and Plan
#	9 (oksel)
# *	Access to grid.plan9.bell-labs.com -> ericvh?
# *	New main page([rsc], uriel; almost done)
# *	[News] page/site (see news(1)?) -> Given up, see [NineTimes |
#	http://ninetimes.cat-v.org] instead.
#
#Done:
# *	[Add http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sys/doc/fossil.pdf to papers page
#	| http://doc.cat-v.org/plan_9/4th_edition/papers/fossil/].
# *	Stablish procedure to get your own sources dir. See: [How to
#	contribute]
# *	Monthly irc meetings. See: Town Hall Meetings
# *	Setup [Plan 9 Documentation Task Force]
# *	Have an automatically generated changelog and commits-list
#
#Wont fix:
# *	Extend to use of patch(1) with comments for all changes done to
#	the main distribution. The people at the Labs just wont do it.
#
#------------------------------------------------------ 
#TECH TODO
#
# *	Make awk work properly (use rc for system and |, errstr, exits,
#	more things that I forgot)
#
#BUGS
#
# *	HTML version of vgadb(6) and plan9.ini(8) are broken.
# *	cpp breaks when finding ' inside // comments
# *	cpp should ignore // ... at the end of #statements
#
#------------------------------------------------------ 
#WIKI TODO
#
#Current wiki short term features:
#
# *	Make /n/sources/.. strings into links to the sources web
#	interface(once it's up)
# *	Nested lists(syntax still not decided)
# *	Explicity syntax for headers and sub-headers(tentative syntax: <<
#	Second header >>), this is needed by wikis in languages that don't
#	use latin alphabets.
# *	Url-encode page names in the web interface.
# *	The web interface for the wiki seems to not set the proper header
#	to avoid browser caching in the wrong cases(need to investigate
#	exact causes).
# *	Script to check for broken wiki links
# *	Display missing pages nicely, ie., return only index.html for
#	missing pages only on walk, might break something?
#
#Maybe:
# *	A way to scape [[] and []] - I have a partial fix for this, that
#	makes [[ not become a link(even when]] appears later in the same
#	line), but I can't find a sane way to have it displayed as a single
#	braket, specially in acme(could be done for HTML interface but
#	would be an ugly hack).
# *	A way to force new lines - not sure how either, and probably not
#	even a good idea.
#
#Done:
# *	New css based style for web interface
# *	----- -> hr
# *	Relative links
# *	https links are broken (eg.
#	[https://lists.cse.psu.edu/mailman/listinfo/9fans])
# *	Add extra info to [what's new]
# *	Replace "Edit" and "New" web pages with ones explaining that the
#	web interface is disabled and acme is needed. (rsc removed the
#	links, so not needed anymore)
# *	Better display of html diffs, show deleted and changed text.
#
#Acme's Wiki features and bugs
# *	Better conflicting commit error reporting
# *	Make Zerox work properly, in particular edits in Zeroxed
#	window(Maybe fixed by AxelB's fixes?)
#
#------------------------------------------------------ 
#TO MOVE TO SOURCES
#
# *	f2f's stuff (ffmpeg and xaos still missing?)
# *	pegasus, rit and latest python
#
#------------------------------------------------------ 
#MISC TODO
#
# *	New wiki/HIT
# *	Wikipedia Plan 9/Inferno related pages work, see
#	[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Lost.goblin]
# *	TPOP links broken.
#
#------------------------------------------------------ 
#RANDOM
#
# *	Boydo hacking prize
# *	"The elements of Kernel hacking style" -> nemo, bruce perens
#	series
# *	Talk at mozdev meeting
#
#------------------------------------------------------ 
#TINY TASKS
#
# *	Document pci ID card identification in vgadb(6) and remove BUGS
#	section
#
#SMALL TASKS

# *	Make page(1) render next page in advance
# *	Add gregsub to regexp(2) for global subs

# *	A way for apps to enable the 'scratch' bit on windows
# *	Make acme/Mail use the built-in Undo/Redo mechanisms
# *	In acme/Mail 'save' should give some feedback to the current
#	email page(maybe just make 'save' go away from tag bar?)
