Hi,My opinion about this subject is that if Haiku have a strong focus on desktop, desktop experience should be improved. Ports to another CPUs is great, but this is not the focus. I think we should improve "control panel" GUIs, try to make Haiku more stable and etc.

Just before I forget, here are some more just in case :) Not everything will fit but I'll leave it so at least it's written somewhere. * HaikuPorts (like BSD ports). Today again I tried to build something that needed something else that needed yet another thing... not mentionning each using a different SCM that you must port if you want the latest version. I could contribute the autoconf-aware makefile template I made for zeta. It's probably borderline but having auto cvs-up and dependancy tracking would be likely quite challenging. * Spice up our MediaPlayer ** Overlay support ** replicant/nsPlugin support ** Add protocol addons (nodes ?) to support http,rtsp... * ARM(no-mmu) port ** Zaurus ** Qtek/... ** GSM stack ? * Bluetooth stack but maybe we could get some help on that. * Serial port driver (including PCI cards, probably the worst part) and tty module. * Expand the "new" driver architecture (PnP) and port old drivers. Ideally multiaudio drivers would provide an interface to a common node that would publish in /dev. An AC97 module would publish a multiaudio interface from codec-specific modules and so on. But that needs a lot of design thinking first. * r/w ext2/3 fs ** xattr support * FAT could use some help as well: ** identify bottlenecks and provide better locking (shouldn't be too hard, there is only a single big lock currently, I already started that, never finished).
