| 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. | |
| - 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. | |
| - Clean up type definitions | |
| Priority: Medium | |
| Complexity: C1 | |
| Go through variable types and use the following: | |
| * uint8_t instead of connman_uint8_t, unsigned char | |
| * uint16_t instead of connman_uint16_t, unsigned short | |
| * bool from <stdbool.h> instead of connman_bool_t and gboolean, in the | |
| latter case in those places it makes sense | |
| - Clean up data structure usage | |
| Priority: Medium | |
| Complexity: C4 | |
| Use hash tables, queues and lists in the code. Replace GSequences with | |
| simpler structures. At the same time do a check on the currently used | |
| data structures and see if something can be simplified. | |
| - Unit tests for DHCP, DNS and HTTP | |
| Priority: Medium | |
| Complexity: C4 | |
| Create unit tests for these components starting with DHCP. Use gtest | |
| from GLib for this task similarly to what has been done for OBEX in Bluez | |
| and oFono in general. | |
| 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 | |
| ========= | |
| - Remove Bluez 4.x support | |
| Priority: Low | |
| Complexity: C1 | |
| Remove plugins/bluetooth-legacy.c support in about 6 month (July 2013) or | |
| when Bluez 4.x usage becomes minimal. | |
| Cellular | |
| ======== | |
| VPN | |
| === | |
| - IPsec | |
| Priority: Medium | |
| Complexity: C4 | |
| Owner: Jukka Rissanen <jukka.rissanen@linux.intel.com> | |
| 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. |
