Legend:
E: easy. Just GUI stuff, no algorithmics involved. That does not mean it's easy to come up with.
M: medium, either because it's a big task, or because it needs to understand a lot of code.
H: hard. Needs digging deep into libretroshare, possibly involving some crypto.
[ ] pending
[/] half-done, someone's on it
[-] cancelled
[X] done
PS: no tabs in this file,thx ;-)
----------------------------------------- TODO list ----------------------------------------------
GUI
E [ ] Implement creation of a default (signed) gxs id in startup wizard. Needs to show to the
user a proper separation between nodes (network layer) and GXS ids (service layer).
E [ ] fix posted GUI. Needs to be more handy and more appealing.
E [ ] add RS links for GXS identities, so that they can be transferred easily between nodes in forums, etc
E [ ] enable people dialog
E [ ] fix RSButtonOnText::eventFilter, and fix all places where RSButtonOnText gets deleted
E [ ] find all places where the deprecated(in Qt5) Q_WS_WIN and other Q_WS* macros are
used, and replace with something else
E [ ] add tooltips in in permission matrix when hovering over the top most button/service name
explain what the service does and the dependencies
E [ ] Make RS fully compatible with High DPI screens.
M [ ] improve comments in channels. Comments should be more available, more visible, and easier to handle.
M [ ] Merge the various help systems. there's 3 of them now. Lots of duplicate code, etc.
M [ ] New and consistent icon set (Purplehaze420 said he would provide a consistent set of icons. Is that still alive?)
File transfer (all 3 tasks are related)
H [ ] implement a new file list management, with new info such as access time,total upload, popularity, etc
H [ ] implement a new file list sharing service based on auto-sync system
M [ ] get rid of the old cache system (remove CacheStrapper, CacheSource,etc)
DHT
H [ ] improve DHT lookups to find masquerading peers using fake peers. First experiments (by cyril) do not prove very efficient.
GXS
M [/] create a tunnel service from distant chat code to make it (1) more generic (2) resistant to packet loss.
M [ ] optimise GXS sync BW. For the moment too much is sent between nodes.
H [/] add the ability to use anonymous identities into circles. Needs new distribution model using items encrypted for multiple GXS keys.
H [ ] use different and incompatible classes for public and private keys in GxsSecurity
VOIP
H [ ] use proper video encoding. What we have now is decent for video, but sound should be prioritized. Experiments
with QtAV seem to work nicely. Finish and integrate!
Messages
H [ ] make the mail system re-send failed emails notified by the global router. This is hard because it needs a proper
management of duplicate messages
Libretroshare
E [ ] make sure at least one location is kept when removing old locations as it avoids lots of connection problems.
M [ ] improve serialisation system. Lots of serialisation tasks (header, verifications, serialiser=>template, can be factored)
M [ ] separate chat stuff from rsmsgs.h into rschat.h
M [ ] crash at shutdown due to memory management already cleared while new objects keep being requested.

Channels
E [ ] allow to set a download directory per channel
Posted
E [ ] Show an info page for unsubscribed posted threads (same as forums)
E [ ] Make the GUI of Posted more sexy: more compact items, remove unecessary text, use consistent icons,...
Forums
E [ ] do we keep "Getting Started" ? the look needs to be improved. Any help doing this is welcome!
E [ ] some widgets in the GUI do not follow the system style => GUI looks bad on these systems
Bugs
E [ ] find the bug that shows some peers online in Network although they are not.
M [ ] Selecting different options in messages composer -> contact list then come back,
shows disappearing / re-appearing people. What causes this???
Settings
E [ ] add default sounds for Friend go online, New Chat Message, Message arrived, Download complete
M [ ] make sure sound is working for users on linux. We also need a "test sound" button in config->sound.
Packaging
E [ ] Sound files should be part of the install package at least on ubuntu (put them in /usr/share)
List of pending non backward compatible changes
===============================================
* RsGxsGrpMetaData::deserialis should use a proper TLV_STR_TYPE_NAME instead of 0 for
mGroupName and mMsgName, in rsgxsdata.cc
* p3IdService::service_CreateGroup() should convert the mPgpSign member to radix64!! For now
it is hard-coded in binary in a string.
