Stuff planned for future releases...  (in no particular order)

Feel free to help out with any of this stuff!  :)

Please send a message to the mailing list if you have any question.

Things for the short term:
- Use centralized command message parsing engine (more secure)
- more features for existing display drivers (e.g. adapt them to bignum library)
- documentation (any help is appreciated)
- lcd_lib: Make use of the options parameter to specify SEAMLESS_HBARS, the
  height of hbars, etc.
- lcterm: Support keyboard input
- MtxOrb: Recover the code for I2C connectivity to MtxOrb
- shuttleVFD: Use output() method for these special "out-of-band" symbols.
- glk: port icon, vBar and hBar to 0.5 API.
- Use non-standard serial baud rates (57600 and higher) only optional.


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

rewrite machine_get_fs() in machine_Linux.c to use functions from mntent.h

get rid of MTAB_FILE compile time definition (for Linux & SunOS)

----------------------------------------
lcdexec client
--------------

more flexbibility: do not just only execute commands, but 
maybe also display their result in a screen, get a command's
parameters interactively using the builtin input menus,
confirmation of commands, jumping between commands depending
on the output of a command (wizards), ...

----------------------------------------
Client driver

An LCDproc client can connect, request the "client" driver, then get
all screen information sent to it!  This allows things such as logging
in remotely and starting up a curses display of LCDproc.  It also
gives another method for writing drivers.  In a sense, it could even
let you write and link in new drivers without having to recompile and
restart LCDproc...

Another bonus is that LCDproc will come with a client which can, for
example, start up a "client" driver to send "keypresses" from the
command line.  Or, 

	lcdtool -key A

would have the same result as pressing a key on the keypad.

----------------------------------------
Scheduling modes

Instead of the simplistic "round robin" circular screen-scheduling in
the current release, later versions will offer several different
algorithms for screen-ordering.

One example: High-priority screens will be shown more often than
low-priority screens, simply by showing up more often.

STATUS: Currently high priority screens will only be shown _first_ after
a resorting of the screenlist. The time that it's visible is unaltered.
