lowest complexity. Complexity is a function of both task 'complexity'
and task 'scope'.

Core
====
-- connman_element removal
+- Personal firewall
Priority: Low
Complexity: C8
- Owner: Samuel Ortiz <sameo@linux.intel.com>
+
+ Discuss and implement a basic and safe firewalling strategy into
+ Connman. Provide a D-Bus API for personal firewalling.
-- Session API implementation
+- PACRunner extensions
- Priority: High
+ Priority: Low
Complexity: C4
- Owner: Daniel Wagner <daniel.wagner@bmw-carit.de>
- Owner: Samuel Ortiz <sameo@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
+ Support more URI schemes, support multiple connections, tighter
+ security integration.
-- Provisioning D-Bus API
+- Check logging produced by connman_info()
Priority: Medium
- Complexity: C2
- Owner: Henri Bragge <henri.bragge@ixonos.com>
+ Complexity: C1
- The current service provisioning lacks a D-Bus interface for modifying
- existing configurations.
+ Check that logging produced by connman_info() contains meaningful messages
+ and get rid of the unnecessary ones.
-- WiSPR support
+- 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 data structure usage
Priority: Medium
Complexity: C4
- Owner: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
- Based on the portal detection parsing results, and provisioned
- credentials, ConnMan should be able to initiate a WiSPR authentication.
+ Use hash tables, queues and lists in the code. Check on the currently used
+ data structures and see if something can be simplified.
-WiFi
-====
+- Unit tests for DHCP, DNS and HTTP
-- Ad-Hoc support
+ Priority: Low
+ Complexity: C4
- Priority: Medium
+ 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.
+
+
+- Support other time sources than NTP
+
+ Priority: Low
+ Complexity: C2
+
+ Support other time sources like cellular, GPS in addition to NTP.
+
+
+- Get interface names from src/device.c
+
+ Priority: Low
Complexity: C2
- Dependencies: Core:IPv4LL
- Owner: Samuel Ortiz <sameo@linux.intel.com>
+
+ Instead of using ioctls in connman_inet_ifindex and connman_inet_ifname,
+ utilize the information already provided by netlink in src/device.c.
-- Fast Connect
+- Simplify gateway selection code
Priority: Low
Complexity: C4
- Owner: Samuel Ortiz <sameo@linux.intel.com>
+
+ The service list is always sorted according to preference with the
+ first service always owning the default route. See if update_order and
+ find_default_gateway in src/connection.c can be modified to use the
+ sorted service list instead of walking through the gateway_hash.
+
+
+- Support D-Bus ObjectManager
+
+ Priority: Medium
+ Complexity: C4
+
+ Support D-Bus ObjectManager by using functionality already present in
+ ./gdbus. Method calls and signals are already registered with gdbus, but
+ properties and replies especially in Agent are still handled with plain
+ dbus library function calls.
+
+ With this, Manager API is removed, and a WiFi P2P API based on
+ ObjectManager common to Linux desktops can be implemented.
+
+
+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
Priority: Low
Complexity: C1
- Owner: Henri Bragge <henri.bragge@ixonos.com>
-- EAP-GTC
+- Removing wpa_supplicant 0.7.x legacy support
- Priority: Low
- Complexity: C1
- Owner: Henri Bragge <henri.bragge@ixonos.com>
+ Priority: Low
+ Complexity: C1
+ 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)
-- WiFi p2p
+Bluetooth
+=========
- Priority: Medium
- Complexity: C2
+- Remove Bluez 4.x support
+ Priority: Low
+ Complexity: C1
-- DUN server
+ Remove plugins/bluetooth-legacy.c support in about 6 month (July 2013) or
+ when Bluez 4.x usage becomes minimal.
- Priority: Low
+Cellular
+========
+
+
+VPN
+===
+
+- IPsec
+
+ Priority: Medium
Complexity: C4
- Owner: Samuel Ortiz <sameo@linux.intel.com>
- For DUN server support, ConnMan needs to provide an API for oFono
- to trigger IP forwarding on a point to point interface. An IP range
- should also be reserved.
+- L2TP & PPTP compatibility prefix removal
+ Priority: Medium
+ Complexity: C1
+ When: connman 2.0
-Bluetooth
-=========
+ The VPN config file provisioning patchset contains code that makes
+ PPP options to be marked by "PPPD." prefix. The code supports also
+ old "L2TP." and "PPTP." prefix for PPP options. Remove the compatibility
+ code and only allow "PPPD." prefix for PPP options.
-- DUN client
- Priority: Low
- Complexity: C4
+- Update VPNC and OpenVPN with Agent support
+
+ Priority: Medium
+ Complexity: C2
+ Update VPNC and OpenVPN with VPN Agent support to request possible user
+ ids and passphrases.
-VPN

-- l2tp support
+Tools
+=====
+
+- Add Clock API and MoveBefore/MoveAfter support to connmanctl
Priority: Low
Complexity: C2
- Owner: Mohamed Abbas <mohamed.abbas@intel.com>
+
+ The connmanctl command line tool should support Clock API and Service API
+ MoveBefore/MoveAfter.
-- pptp support
+User Interface
+==============
+
+- GNOME3 UI
Priority: Low
- Complexity: C2
- Owner: Mohamed Abbas <mohamed.abbas@intel.com>
+ Complexity: C4
+
+ A GNOME3 shell user interface would make it easier for mainstream distros
+ users to use ConnMan. Continue/restart the work at
+ https://github.com/connectivity/gnome-extension-connman
