-### USB passthrough to Windows qubes
-
-**Project**: USB passthrough to Windows qubes
-
-**Brief explanation**: Add ability to use individual USB devices in Windows qubes. Right now the only option to do that, is to assign the whole USB controller (PCI device), which applies to all the devices connected to it. USB passthrough on Qubes is based on USBIP project, with transport over qrexec instead of TCP/IP.
-
-**Expected results**:
-
- - Evaluate possible approaches (including flexibility, compatibility and performance), suggested ideas:
-   - use [USBIP for Windows](https://github.com/cezuni/usbip-win) and make it work with qrexec - similar as done for Linux
-   - use qrexec+USBIP in Linux-based stubdomain and plug it into USB emulation in qemu
- - Choose one approach, write (very simple) design documentation
- - Write relevant new code (applies mostly for usbip-win case)
- - Plug the mechanism into Qubes core toolstack ([Devices API](https://dev.qubes-os.org/projects/core-admin/en/latest/qubes-devices.html))
-
-**Knowledge prerequisite**:
-
-- basic USB architecture knowledge (buses, devices, interfaces, functions)
-- Python and Bash scripting
-- C
-- Windows USB stack and/or qemu USB stack

-### Dedicated Audio qube
-
-**Project**: Dedicated Audio qube
-
-**Brief explanation**: Moving audio subsystem from dom0 to a dedicated AudioVM and/or a preexisting VM (e.g sys-usb with attached usb audio device). This would allow using USB audio devices system-wide, without leaving a USB controller in dom0. [Relevant github issue](https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/1590).
-
-**Expected results**:
-
-- Make audio virtualization components work with non-dom0 backend (in short: add configuration option for the backend, instead of assuming "dom0")
-- Possibly per-qube setting what should be used as an AudioVM
-- Make other audio-related tools (including GUI tools) work with the new setup, especially enabling/disabling microphone (`qvm-device mic`) and volume control
-
-**Knowledge prerequisite**:
-
-- Pulseaudio
-- C
-- Python

-### Xen GPU passthrough for Intel integrated GPUs
-**Project**: Xen GPU passthrough for Intel integrated GPUs (largely independent of Qubes)
-
-**Brief explanation**: This project is prerequisite to full GUI domain support,
-where all desktop environment is running in dedicated VM, isolated from
-dom0. There is already some support for GPU passthrough in Xen, but needs to be
-integrated in to Qubes and probably really make working, even when using qemu
-in stubdomain. GUI domain should be a HVM domain (not PV).
-This should be done without compromising Qubes security features, especially:
-using VT-d for protection against DMA attacks, using stubdomain for sandboxing
-qemu process (if needed) - qemu running in dom0 is not acceptable.  More
-details in [#2618](https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/2618).
-
-**Expected results**:
-
- - Ability to start a VM with GPU connected. VM should be able to handle video
-   output (both laptop internal display, and external monitors if apply). That
-   VM also should be able to use hardware acceleration.
- - This project may require patching any/all of Xen hypervisor, Libvirt, Qemu,
-   Linux. In such a case, patches should be submitted to appropriate upstream
-   project.
- - It's ok to focus on a specific, relatively new Intel-based system with Intel
-   integrated GPU.
-
-**Knowledge prerequisite**:
-
- - C language
- - Kernel/hypervisor debugging
- - Basics of x86_64 architecture, PCIe devices handling (DMA, MMIO, interrupts), IOMMU (aka VT-d)
- - Xen hypervisor architecture

-### Improve Windows GUI agent performance and stability
-**Project**: Improve Windows GUI agent performance and stability
-
-**Brief explanation**: Previous profiling has shown that the Windows GUI agent uses significant portion of VM's CPU time for mouse input simulation. This can be improved, as well as agent's stability in some cases (desktop/user switching, logon/logoff, domain-joined VMs, multiple monitors). Seamless GUI experience can be significantly improved, but that may require changes in the Qubes video driver.
