Please send a message to the mailing list if you have any question.
Things for the short term:
- The menu_goto command: A given menu should come up
(if the menu accepts that).
- Rotation and priorities
- Have server also use Left and Right key
- Entire server menu working properly
- Fix rendering of subframes
- Fix rendering anyway ;)
- (?) Use centralized command message parsing engine (more secure)
- Use centralized command message parsing engine (more secure)
- allow bignum library to use user-defined characters different
from 0 - N but from M - (M+N)
- more features for existing display drivers
(e.g. adapt them to bignum library)
Things for the longer term:
----------------------------------------
lcdproc client
--------------
allow more than one instance of a screen with different configuration
sections (implementation should be possible similar to the one with
the drivers in LCDd where File=... points to the original driver file)
more options in the config file (clocks with offsets from localtime, ...)
more options changeable in the lcdproc client menu
----------------------------------------
lcdexec client
--------------
more flexbibility: do not just only execute commands, but
maybe also display their result in a screen, ...

Port the lcdproc client screens to *BSD.
Thomas Runge ported the 4.0-pre9 client to *BSD but we forgot to merge it
in the CVS tree back them.
The patch is available at: http://core.de/~coto/misc/lcdproc_bsd.diff.gz
A backup copy is available at: http://lcdproc.sf.net/lcdproc_bsd.diff.gz
The main problem in applying this patch is to make it work with
autoconf/automake.
I estimate the time to do this to between 1 and 4 hours per screen. The
person applying to port should have access to at least one BSD account
(sourceforge compile farm provide a BSD box, ask the mailing list if you
don't know how to access it).
The port should be tested on FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD before applying
it to the CVS tree. Just ask the mailing list for testing.
STATUS: chrono.c, cpu.c, disk.c have been ported.
----------------------------------------
Add LibGTop support to the lcdproc client
LibGTop is a library that fetches information about the running system
such as cpu, memory usage and active processes, and make it available to
the requesting program.
Adding LibGTop support to the lcdproc client would enable it to work on
more platforms, including MacOS X.
LibGTop is available at:
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/stable/sources/libgtop/
STATUS: No work done yet.
----------------------------------------
Menus / Client menus
LCDproc will have a "menu" mode, where various options can be
configured. You can rearrange the screenlist, change the contrast,
add/remove drivers, change screen priorities, kick off clients, etc...
You can also access client menus to configure options in each client.
STATUS: This is currently being worked on. Client supplied menus work.
Check 0.5 to see it.
----------------------------------------
Config Files...
LCDproc will use a config file for its parameters, like other
programs; instead of relying upon long command lines. Keypresses,
drivers, and other things will be configurable here. Also, LCDproc
will have the ability to load/modify/save config files via its menu
interface, so you don't have to edit it by hand.
Info about particular clients/screens will also be stored in the
LCDproc config file, so you can (for example) save your preferences
about screen priorities, etc...
Code will be made generic, so that other programs can use it for their
own config files. Clients may want to use this..
STATUS: We have a config file only for LCDd but we don't save config.

Scheduling modes

STATUS: Currently high priority screens will only be shown _first_ after
a resorting of the screenlist. The time that it's visible is unaltered.
----------------------------------------
Shell Commands
The server will also be able to run arbitrary shell commands from the
config file. This will allow you to, for example, shut down the
machine, get online, or other system tasks.
STATUS: These commands can now be run by the lcdexec client.
----------------------------------------
Improved display driver API
The desirable aspects of what a driver should do has changed somewhat
since I first read the LCD manual. The driver spec is based largely
on the functions MtxOrb's LCDs provide easily, but it is not
well-suited to other types of display.
So, I'll be working on a new driver spec which is more flexible and
more powerful. In addition, I'm looking for ways to better handle
multiple driver devices.
STATUS: This is API and version 0.5
