This was the conge TODO file. It is now out of date. The items in the list that are still relevant should be moved to the Bugzilla database. Some of the jobs are quite easy, other are hard, and other are "blue sky" goals for the future. I've added some rough estimates of the complexity of each job. CODING - fix the violations of the GNOME coding style guidelines (Easy) - comment the internal interfaces in gtk-doc style (Easy) - adding i18n support (Medium) - port over to SDI-based GUI (for compliance with GNOME HIG) (Medium) - improving the parser error report dialog (add highlighting and single-click selection) (Easy) - use standardised GNOME app menus, with correct stock icons (done using Bonobo so as to get menu merging?) (Easy) - make font choices a user prefererence? (using GConf and a preferences dialog) (Medium) - add a grammar check feature (Hard) (possibly look at AbiWord bug #3281, and http://www.gnu.org/software/diction/diction.html) - nicer GUI (various ideas have been posted to the list - logical groupings of tags) - fix all the FIXMEs in the code - get it working with SGML files (Medium; possibly requires upstream changes to libxml) - get it so it can load the DocBook source code to the OReilly book "DocBook - the Definitive Guide" (currently fails due to problems with external entities and due to SGML issues) - add support for comments within the XML (perhaps appearing as mini yellow sticky notes in the view) (Medium) - ability to edit attributes of tags somehow (right-click on the section header?) (Medium) - implement the external-reference component support in a less hackish way (Medium) - support drag-and-drop from file managers into the external component tags (Medium) - implement inline XML component support (Hard) - implement a table-editing component (Hard) - make Conglomerate a Bonobo control; get it working in Nautilus, Evolution etc (Medium) - some kind of transformation view, showing results of a transformation of the file into HTML or printable form "live" as you edit (Hard) - perhaps a promote/demote facility for things like sect1 through to sect5 in DocBook to make it easier to play around with structure? - Allow multi-charset input (using Pango?) - audit the use of different char types (Medium) - stronger use of DTD information (Hard) - fix the paragraph support (Medium) - write some kind of code overview (Easy) OTHER JOBS - improvements to existing xds files (Easy) - more xds files to cover other DTDs out there (Easy) - design icons for dispspec elements? (we _might_ support this in future) - do translations when we have the i18n support, both for the program and for the xds files (Easy) - use Conglomerate and see what needs improving, find BUGS etc - write some documentation (Medium) - use the file AUTHORS to generate authors in the About box Any other ideas? tell them to the developers mailinglist
