	- multiple conduits pr. DB (and don't try and solve
	  the puzzles this can cause)

	- install without doing full sync

	- capplet should ensure pilot homedir exists,
	and during pilot name, update homedir

	- fix libgpilotdCM/gpilotd buildorder by moving stuff into
	libgpilotdconduit (remove note in README when done)

	- merge backup and file conduit
		. installs can immediate copy shite into
		the backupdir
		. no need to intercommunicate for restore

	- gobify gnome-pilot-structures

	- applet should cyclon untill conduit begins progress reporting
	done

Ingnore the rest of this file....

TODO for 0.2.0 "Rasende Hest", targeted for August Gnome
 - first release of this will be 0.1.50
 - 0.1.50 to 0.1.99 is for stabilizing & finishing.
 - when stable and ready for August Gnome, jump to 0.2.0

	vadim:
		- FIX MEMO_FILE CRASH.
                  #(hopefully 100%) Fixed in 0.1.51
		- updated pilot-link capplet and 
		  druid configger
		  #(90%)
		- multipilot support in pilot_applet
		  #(90%)
		- restore dialog in pilot_applet
		  #(50%)
		- progress bar/message stuff in applet
		  #(75%)
		- backup capplet needs support for exclude files, and
		  option to not backup handled bases
		- use new libgpilotd everywhere.
		  #(99%)
		- display gpilotd messages, when it does them...
		- combine all conduit capplets into one.
		- add conduit config screen to druid.

	eskil:	
		- handle strlen > 14 devices properly. Eg. by
		  patching pilot-link

		- catch the pilotid=0 and do something usefull

		- ensure that gnomecal conduit and MAL works
	 	  # Fine, thanks for asking!

		- make progress info optionable (and move it to 
		  gnome-pilot-conduit.c for speed)
		  # moved into gnome-pilot-conduit
                  # need to make a gpilotd option to disable it

		- make an idl call to get list of db's, that
		  can both take a cached list and get it from
		  the pilot. This is to make backupconduitcapplet
		  a bit more intelligent.
		  # Call implemented

		- proper gnome-config stuff (meaning using gnome-config
		  instead of own script)
		  # 100%
	
		- use new conduitmgmt lib
		  # 100%

		- make the .conduit files' libline relocatable, either
		  by .conduit.in or at runtime
		  # 100%, done via conduit.in's, s/@prefix@/$prefix/
	
		- make idl call to send messages via the client
		  instead of gpilotd gui
		  # No, Wait for grapewine, which will be a uniform
		    system message thingy.

		- recode lib-gpilotd to a real GTK+ object using gob 
		  #(95%) What is left to do is implement the methods
		   that 1) gpilotd doens't support yet 2) nobody uses
		   yet. Can be postponed to a later release.

		- conduit loading via <name>.conduit files (ala gnorba), this
		  is needed for the druid thing and for druid and applet.
		  !And make them relocatable!
		  #it is now being split into two objects
		  # gnome_pilot_conduit_management
	          # (this is done)
                  # gnome_pilot_conduit_config
                  # (this is done)
                  # debugging both....
                  # (this is as done as such stuff ever is :-) )

		- handle USB
		  gpilotd must not bind the port upon start.
		  but either busywait to detect sync or 
		  there must be an option in the applet to do it.
	
	both:
		- update README
		- error checking on all pi_* and dlp_* calls.
		- go through bug reports
		  * corba related coredumps
		  * sync on empty calendars 
		  * problem if syncId == 0 
		  * double-delete
		- archieving in abs
		- cleanup the messages from conduits

	unsorted:
		- request-conduit support in pilot_applet
		- ask reg. restore on new pilot
		- passwd/other protection on restore ? (especially
		  pilotid = 0)
		- store last sync time per conduit.

	future:
		- Make gpilotd multithreaded (await glib 1.4 
		  with full thread support)
		- with threads, make a cancel_sync call
		- Use OAF, and reconnect to already running
		  clients

# This is older stuff, most repeated above

gpilotd:
	- corba stuff: Need to implement the progress bar stuff, also
	a condut_error(string) call, that lets the conduit inform the
	user of a problem.
	UPDATE: Mostly done, now need to implement auto progress crap
	in SyncAbs. I'll most like need to require SyncAbs conduits to
	1) return the number of local records
	2) for each record, return its index, like the dlp_* calls.

	- corba stuff 2: Really need to walk through the FIXME's in
	orbit_daemon_glue.c

	- corba stuff 4: Some reconnection mechanism, so a restarted
	gpilotd and an old panel_applet can talk to each other.
	NOTE: if the clients register in goad, gpilotd just has to traverse the
	list of alreadyrunning gnome/pilot/client:1.0 objects, make a "reconnect"
	call thereby causing them to reconnect.

	- corba stuff 5: Many of the get_yadayad calls might be slow when there
	are many pilots. But while there are no more then <10, they should be ok.
	When they hit 100, it should definitely be hashes.

	- pilot id = 0, when syncing a pilot that has an id==0, needs
	to ask user if/which pilot profile he wants to restore. Don't forget
	that password thing, which probably also needs a tune-up.

	- There may be an issue if SyncPCId = 0 or PilotId = 0. 

	- The number field in GPilotPilot has to go. It is currently only used
	to enum the pilots in the gpilotd list. If this is changed to :
		[General]
		pilots=355 3551 3737

		[Pilot355]
		...
	it would be much prettier...

	- gncal conduit. gnomecal has "end after x recurrences". Pilot does not.
	Calc end date and insert into record.

	- change of base_dir should 
	1) make the gpilot-capplet show a warning, suggesting the user move his 
	   data (perhaps even offering to do it)
	2) reflect the change in the conduits, thus they should only save the suffix.

	- need a uniform way to get the ~/.gnome/gnome-pilot.d dir for conduits and stuff.


	- Make progress an disablable option

	- Create a real gtk object, see drafts/gnome-pilot.gob.
	UPDATE: This also goes for gnome-pilot-conduit objects.

	- Major conduit rework, so conduits can be loaded at startup, and 
	  not at sync. The conduits get_conduit should then not take
	  the pilot id as parameter, the presync can then via dbinfo load the
	  appropriate pilot config.

conduits:
	- Add logic for conduits to create new categories on pilot if necessary.

# this stuff is much older, I should check for anything important and nuke the rest

conduits:
	For complete "office" integration, develop the following conduits:
		o email
		o gnomecard <> AddressDB
		o gnomecal <> DateDB
		o gnucash <> expense
	And perhaps a conduit for a pilot timetracker <> gnometimetracker,
	or deveper an opensource PalmOS timetracker.

gpilotd:
	The following CORBA operations are yet to be implemented
		o get_* info access methods (work is being done)
		o timeout of requests
		o cancellation of requests
		o get/set userid reflected in hotsync log

gpilotd:
	solve the enumeration of requests when deleting problem (see queue_io.c bottom).

lib-gpilotd:
	reconnect if the server dies.

idl/orbit_daemon_glue: use real objects instead of transmitting IORS.

pilot-link:
	Support of archieving in the SyncAbs system.

# This is ancient times

gpilot-fileman: Allow users to fetch a lists of databases and prcs from their 
	        pilot.  This should probably be done by having a 2
                tabs in the main window.  The first tab is for
                installing and contains the current view, the second
                tab contains a GUI interface for entering a list of db
                names and recovering them.  This feature is currently
                non-essential but would be nice.  The thing is that I
                would like to use the conduit daemon to perform all
                operations for this program including this.  I don't
                want to add the code here and then have to move or
                change it later.

gpilot-fileman: Implement the set selected files function in the multifile 
		widget

gpilot-fileman: Implement a select all button in the multi file widget
                that selects all files in the current directory
                displayed.

gpilot-fileman: Make the CLists scroll correctly when any row is too large for
                display, not just the title.

gpilot-fileman: Have the Install option ghosted out until someone
                selects a file.  We just need to attach a
                handler to the "file_selected" signal and
                "file_unselected" signal and maintain a count of the
                total selected files.

gpilot-fileman: Bugfix: If child dies unexpectedly and doesn't report
                any error the parent will segfault, we should check
                the return value of the reads to see what happened and
                bail if it doesn't make sense.

gpilot-fileman: Make preferences actually save some information so you
                don't have to set the serial port over and over again.
                Also add a default backup directory in the preferences.

gpilot-fileman: Make the left filebox in the multifile widget a drag
                source and the right filebox a drop target, anyone
                know how to do this?

Make g_error print its messages to a message box instead of to the
console.  

# This is the beginning of time...

Integrate the existing pilot applet into this distro.
