Research some sort of read&write filesystem compression and make it available if possible. It would be good for products like Flash.
- e2compr implements the +c file attribute, has patches for new 2.6 kernels --spuk * puppy linux seem to have done something about this --spuk

Mandriva 2008.1 could support multiple terminals (keyboard+mouse+monitor) attached to a single machine. Potential academic partnership with UFPR.
Features to be implemented: * Working out-of the box (no patches or external tools required) * Sound support * USB-storage support * Configuration tool

Input-hotplug should work out of the box, but to support all of its features, we would need to spend time on research and experiments, since several parts of its architecture are still undefined and there's a lot of interaction between the xserver and the desktop environment. |

we should be able to install only one of myspell-pt_BR,myspell-pt_PT instead of both. for this:* packages should require locales-xx_YY instead of simply locales-xx * we should split locales-xx into many pkgs, but the current provides locales-xx_YY,locales-xx_ZZ should be enough * perl-URPM/urpmi must be modified to make things work as wanted (should be easy) * installation of l10n packages should be transparent to the end-user: he should not have to specify it in order to get it installed. Eg: urpmi moBugzilla-firefox and it pulls up moBugzilla-firefox-<locale> correctly. --mrl * provide a packaging rule for l10n packages: <foo>-i18n-<locale>, <bar>-<locale>, <geez>-l10n-<locale>.. urpmi won't be able to handle this mess alone. |

A 'noclean' global option on urpmi.cfg (exists --noclean option if you use urpmi from console but there is no way to use it if you use graphical gui like mdk_applet or rpmdrake). There are many people with more than one computer with same version of Mandriva installed with more or less the same programs and when there are updates, they download them twice or more: why not add an option to urpmi.cfg (with the proper graphical way to configure it on rpmdrake, as I stated above) that permit globaly that packages won't be erased after a correct installation? This way banwidth from Mandriva repos will be saved too. |

Make URPMI able to be used without internet connection: add a way to configure repos without a need to inet connection (downloading from another computer a rpm package wich contains hdlists and all needed info, for example) and a way to handle dependencies offline (something like apt-zip on debian systems: a way that urpmi tells you the URL for all the needed packages. You'll download those URL on a connected PC and then you'll bring to the non-connected one) |

Implement generation of metalinks based on geoip data at api.mandriva.com so users don't have to worry about selecting mirrors. Using aria2 as client for metalinks will also add support for segmented downloading so that users can get higher speeds if their bw is bigger than what mirrors might provide. This should also help avoid problems when a mirror is not up to date, other mirrors will be tried as well -
aria2 should be planned for 2009 for having reasonnable planning
