Ok.
My old mail is not available to me, and today I cannot access my account while I was changing mail.
Need to send the password again to this my nickname


P.S. "little" problem
Also my English language is poor for deep editing wiki on English language. :)

Yes, please.
Add you as a mentor to the corresponding table if you want to mentor this task.
Could you also add a few words about openbios project itself and benefits for developers and users? Like in Virt-IO driver idea.

Here is the ideas page of HaikuOS which is quite successful in GSoC. We should definitely learn from their experience. Unfortunately, our ideas are often clear only to their authors.

You don't need my approval to add more ideas, just add them. But keep in mind that these are ideas for ~20y.o. students without KolibriOS experience. And they should be doable in three months.

Заменил хотелки по Eolite на Quark.

Я не согласен со многим на http://wiki.kolibrios.org/wiki/Ideas_Page

> File system
> Primary goal: Add write support for ext4 file system (ext4 reading and ext2 writing are already supported).

На сколько я знаю ext4 нормально работает. Кому-то действительно нужны доп фичи ext4?

> XMPP/Jabber client

Не актуально, да и чатов валом: сегодня один завтра другой. ICQ, Skype, FB, VK, Viber, SnapChat, Telegram... У меня ни одного знакомого в XMPP/Jabber нету. Давайте лучше делать что-то более-менее вечное.

> Document viewer

У нас уже есть PDF просмотрщик uPDF.
Напомню его историю: порт сделал SoUrcerer. Нужно было сделать нормальный UI.
На GSoC мы наняли студента который криволапо добавил 5 кривых кнопок. Я потом за него все переделывал.
В этот GSoC таких студентов нужно гнать ссаными тряпками.

> GIMP plugin for skins

Не вижу смысла.

> RSS/Atom news reader

Стоит пилить на движке WebView.

Я бы добавил ACHI (в ядре на FASM), Поисковик (пусть пилят на C--), порт Dillo/Netsurf, кнопку развернуть окно, курсоры на границы окна, иконки 16х16 в меню пуск.

Насчет просмотрщика uPDF нужно перенести на newlib. Upd уже перенесено

Well, this is not a roadmap, just a list of ideas. If we have many good ideas, we will prioritize them.

I have no ext4 partitions. Ext* code does have bugs and need fixes but I'm not sure a student can handle this task.

Feel free to add any stuff if you can mentor it.

Please add "uPDF port to newlib" (replace "document viewer" idea with this)
Upd: I already port to newlib.

My humble ideas - NTFS write, partially it's done but full... And for me its bit annoying, that lastdistro.7z pack cannot be read by standard KolibriOS 7z reader. uPDF - AFAIK it not written in asm, maybye it's worthy to rewrite it in asm and provide it in standard 1.44 floppy image.
