[Gpephone-devel] To make it complete...

[Florian Boor]

Hello all,

I just started to collect tasks we need to do in order to make G(PE)^2 a
complete and useful framework. I'll start with a list of things I have in mind -
please comment and extend.

* Applications

Required:
- Configuration and customisation GUI
  e.g. Bluetooth controls, language settings, input methods, date & time, IP and
GSM network, ringtones, wallpaper...
- Network connectivity management
- Integration of PIM application with OBEX services (IrDA and Bluetooth)
- Button event manager (e.g. to handle special keys such as power, profile
selection...
- More customizable homescreen with support for plugins.
- Improved process lifecycle management
- Service oriented launch of applications
- Improved email client
- File manager
- Use of gnome-vfs for applications in order to avoid exposing the complete
filesystem to all users.
- Introduction of security mechanisms
- A task switcher and integration of this with the button event management
- Text input method for devices with numeric keypad
- phoneserver improvements

Not required but important to have:
- html and wap browser
- backup tool
- package manager GUI
- j2me support
- Text and voice notes application


* SDK and development
- A consistent SDK solution that is able to build both images and single binaries.
- We should recommend a set of base library versions and test our software with
these.
- Same applies to compiler and binutils
- Include profiling tools into the SDK


Even if this looks quite much it is quite likely that I forgot about some
things. :-)

Greetings

Florian
