%hSvarDOS: The project's TODO list
3
 
304 mateuszvis 4
* Replace the default (FreeDOS) edit with a smaller alternative (?) that is:
5
  - TINY (a dozen of KiBs or so)
6
  - relatively simple: no need for advanced text editing features, just enough
7
    to comfortably edit small (<64K) configuration files
8
  - 8086-compatible and have modest memory requirements
9
  - multi-lang (kitten library)
10
  - capable of (limited) copy/pasting between two files

* replace FreeCOM by SvarCOM
286 mateuszvis 13
 
306 mateuszvis 14
* improve installer so user can choose the target disk
15
 
551 mateuszvis 16
* COUNTRY settings shall be configurable by localcfg (and user should be
17
  able to define local preferences through an easy-to-use wizard during
18
  install time)
19
 
20
* out-of-the box networking support:
21
 - requires shipping lots of packet drivers with SvarDOS... Should CRYNWR be
22
   part of the install set? Or only selected, most popular drivers? Or maybe
23
   this could be provided as a "supplemental" floppy disk?
24
 - user should be asked for its NIC model at install time
25
 - installer could also ask for a basic DHCP / static configuration
26
 
286 mateuszvis 27
* install.com - MBR changes could be done by the installer itself instead of
28
  system()-calling fdisk
29
 
30
* help - write more useful content!
551 mateuszvis 31
  - basic DOS commands (directories, copy/rename/delete files, etc)
32
  - common configuration files (autoexec, config.sys, pkg.cfg, wattcp.cfg..)
33
  - networking guide
34
  - memory management basics
35
  - ...

* test new versions of software and update packages accordingly. special care
584 mateuszvis 38
  must be taken for core things: kernel, command.com, fdisk, himemx...
304 mateuszvis 39
 
319 mateuszvis 40
* add new, useful software to the SvarDOS repository (see the %lpkgrules.ama:rules%t)
41
 
286 mateuszvis 42
* further NLS support, improvements of existing translations and adding new
43
  languages -> would be nice to have some kind of web interface for submitting
44
  and reviewing translations
45
 
584 mateuszvis 46
* all user-facing CORE packages should be NLS-aware (translatable)
286 mateuszvis 47
 
561 mateuszvis 48
* possibly plenty of other things
