I really need help with most of these. If you can write code, point me
to a good resource or just suggest something, please don't hesitate to
mail me. Some of the more difficult problems are discussed in more
detail in the file PROBLEMS.

For some smaller (some trivial) details, do a "grep TODO *.c" in ledd/.


URGENT MATTERS (bugs etc.):

- Correct "normal" LEDs in X

  If some LED is first set on/off/blink and after that to totally
  "normal", the last state is shown on the light. It works on the text
  console because ledd reads the "correct" states and sets them. How
  can X be made either to tell the "correct" states or to set them?

  This may turn out to be impossible using the current
  implementation. (See PROBLEMS)

- Better security

  Options for different kinds of user/group settings etc. Making safe
  enough for suid root (?). Or even non-root? (See PROBLEMS)

- RPM support

  Does somebody want to do this? Mark Glines has done preliminary
  support, but it's no perfect yet. I have no idea about this...


LESS URGENT MATTERS:

- Some small features: several settings in one command, a few
  portability issues, ...

- Add alternative startup scripts.

- Update gled to new commands

  Looping animations, ...

- Nicer gled/anim

  Should one block be a set/pause pair? That would allow everything
  and perhaps simplify it a bit. Also change the "Current" letters to
  be cute little pixmaps.


SOME NICE FEATURES TO DO:

- Morse code

  Command "morse" to get ledd to blink out messages. (Idea from
  morse2led by Mark Wolgemuth <mark@node.to>) Internally probably
  handled as an animation.

- Scripts, animations

  More scripts, animations and stuff. All contributions/suggestions
  are gladly accepted! (Add animations to the file ANIMATIONS, scripts
  to the directory scripts/ (see existing scripts and file SCRIPTS))
