| %hSvarDOS: The project's TODO list |
| |
| * Replace the default (FreeDOS) edit with a smaller alternative (?) that is: |
| - TINY (a dozen of KiBs or so) |
| - relatively simple: no need for advanced text editing features, just enough |
| to comfortably edit small (<64K) configuration files |
| - 8086-compatible and have modest memory requirements |
| - multi-lang (kitten library) |
| - capable of (limited) copy/pasting between two files |
| |
| * replace FreeCOM by SvarCOM |
| |
| * improve installer so user can choose the target disk |
| |
| * COUNTRY settings shall be configurable by localcfg (and user should be |
| able to define local preferences through an easy-to-use wizard during |
| install time) |
| |
| * out-of-the box networking support: |
| - requires shipping lots of packet drivers with SvarDOS... Should CRYNWR be |
| part of the install set? Or only selected, most popular drivers? Or maybe |
| this could be provided as a "supplemental" floppy disk? |
| - user should be asked for its NIC model at install time |
| - installer could also ask for a basic DHCP / static configuration |
| |
| * install.com - MBR changes could be done by the installer itself instead of |
| system()-calling fdisk |
| |
| * help - write more useful content! |
| - basic DOS commands (directories, copy/rename/delete files, etc) |
| - common configuration files (autoexec, config.sys, pkg.cfg, wattcp.cfg..) |
| - networking guide |
| - memory management basics |
| - ... |
| |
| * test new versions of software and update packages accordingly. special care |
| must be taken for core things: kernel, command.com, fdisk, himemx... |
| |
| * add new, useful software to the SvarDOS repository (see the %lpkgrules.ama:rules%t) |
| |
| * further NLS support, improvements of existing translations and adding new |
| languages -> would be nice to have some kind of web interface for submitting |
| and reviewing translations |
| |
| * all user-facing CORE packages should be NLS-aware (translatable) |
| |
| * possibly plenty of other things |
| |
