Background
==========

- Priority scale: High, Medium and Low

- Complexity scale: C1, C2, C4 and C8.
   The complexity scale is exponential, with complexity 1 being the
   lowest complexity. Complexity is a function of both task 'complexity'
   and task 'scope'.


Core
====

- Session API implementation

   Priority: High
   Complexity: C4
   Owner: Daniel Wagner <daniel.wagner@bmw-carit.de>
   Owner: Patrik Flykt <patrik.flykt@linux.intel.com>

   The session API should provide a connection abstraction in order to
   prioritize applications network accesses, prevent or allow network
   and bearer roaming, or provide applications with a way to request
   for periodic network connections. On-demand connections will be
   implemented through this API as well.
   See http://www.mail-archive.com/connman@connman.net/msg01653.html


- Personal firewall

   Priority: Low
   Complexity: C8
   Owner: Tomasz Bursztyka <tomasz.bursztyka@linux.intel.com>

   Discuss and implement a basic and safe firewalling strategy into
   Connman. Provide a D-Bus API for personal firewalling.


- PACRunner extensions

   Priority: Low
   Complexity: C4

   Support more URI schemes, support multiple connections, tighter
   security integration.


- Check logging produced by connman_info()

   Priority: Medium
   Complexity: C1

   Check that logging produced by connman_info() contains meaningful messages
   and get rid of the unnecessary ones.


- Disable logging to syslog when run in foreground

   Priority: Medium
   Complexity: C1

   When ConnMan is run in foreground mode, disable logging to syslog. If not
   disabled, systemd will log everything twice, once via syslog and once on
   standard error.


- Favorite service migration removal

  Priority: Medium
  Complexity: C1
  When: 12/2012

  Remove service migration code that moves services from default.profile
  to the current directory-based structure.

- Support for multiple agents

  Priority: Medium
  Complexity: C2

  Allow to register multiple agents. Each unique system bus name owner
  however is only allowed to register one agent.

  The selection of which agents is used  should be matched by bus name
  owner if possible or first come first serve. A graceful fallback to
  the next agent should be also used in case of malfunctional agents.

- Remove --nobacktrace option

 Priority: Medium
 Complexity: C1
 When: 2.0

 Remove the --nobacktrace option or change it to --backtrace depending on the
 level of systemd integration or other factors.


WiFi
====

- Clean up WiFi data structure usage

   Priority: Medium
   Complexity: C2

   Struct wifi_data is passed as a pointer in some of the wifi plugin
   callbacks. For example removing a WiFi USB stick causes RTNL and
   wpa_supplicant to call the wifi plugin at the same time causing the
   freeing of the wifi data structure. Fix up the code to have proper
   reference counting or other handling in place for the shared wifi data
   and the members in the data structure.


- EAP-AKA/SIM

   Priority: Medium
   Complexity: C2
   Owner: Samuel Ortiz <sameo@linux.intel.com>

   This EAP is needed for SIM card based network authentication.
   ConnMan here plays a minor role: Once wpa_supplicant is set up for
   starting and EAP-AKA/SIM authentication, it will talk to a SIM card
   through its pcsc-lite API.


- EAP-FAST

   Priority: Low
   Complexity: C1


- WiFi p2p

   Priority: Medium
   Complexity: C2


- Removing wpa_supplicant 0.7.x legacy support

  Priority: Low
  Complexity: C1
  Owner: Tomasz Bursztyka <tomasz.bursztyka@linux.intel.com>

  Removing global country property setter in gsupplicant, and removing
  wifi's technology set_regdom implementation. Removing autoscan fallback.
  (Note: should be done around the end 2012)

Bluetooth
=========


Cellular
========


VPN
===

- IPsec

   Priority: Medium
   Complexity: C4
   Owner: Jukka Rissanen <jukka.rissanen@linux.intel.com>


WiMAX
=====

- WiMAX removal

   Priority: Medium
   Complexity: C1
   When: 12/2012

   WiMAX plugin is unmaintained. Remove WiMAX plugin, service type definitions
   and associated code.


Tools
=====

- Add Agent mode to connmanctl command line tool

   Priority: Medium
   Complexity: C2

   connmanctl should implement agent prompting when started with a suitable
   command line option. Agent mode should also be enabled when in interactive
   mode.


User Interface
==============

- GNOME3 UI

   Priority: Low
   Complexity: C4
   Owner: Alok Barsode <alok.barsode@linux.intel.com>

   A GNOME3 shell user interface would make it easier for mainstream distros
   users to use ConnMan.
