The intention of this page is to classify features and their place with respect to R1.  Once every feature is classified, the releases up to and including R1 can then be scheduled. This schedule will help to serve as inspiration to contribute to features that are required for a particular release.

= Procedure =

1. Define the R1 feature set. Features should be organized in three groups:
 * must-have features
 * nice-to-have features (which shouldn't hold off the release)
 * definitely-post-R1 features

2. Define a rough estimation/schedule for the implementation of the missing
features.

3. Create the R1 roadmap. This includes all releases we want to do until R1, tagged with preliminary release dates.


= Features =
== Locale ==
=== Reasons For ===
 1. more polished impression
 1. despite a non-public API, it has stirred many contributions and is important even in its current state
=== Reasons Against ===
 1. need to update bundled third party applications
 1. locale kit not ready to be public API
 1. layout kit not ready to be public API
 1. including it in Pre-R1 & not in R1 Final, may cause false hopes
=== SubTasks ===
 1. Preflet needs work
 1. update applications to use Layout Kit
  * Fill in details.
 1. update applications to use Locale Kit
  * Fill in details.
 1. update 3rd party applications bundled with Haiku
  * Vision
  * WebPositive
  * BePDF
  * ClockWerk
  * Pe
  * WonderBrush


== Wifi ==
=== Reasons For ===
 1. even without encryption, it improves Haiku's appeal & usability
 1. marketing appeal
=== Reasons Against ===
 1. including it in Pre-R1 & not in R1 Final, may cause false hopes
=== SubTasks ===
 1. IRQ sharing issues
 1. userland utilities (network preflet integration, some form of notification in deskbar)
 1. proper cli integration with ifconfig
 1. WEP encryption
 1. WPA/WPA2 encryption
   * Porting wpa_supplicant, would be the quickest way to get WPA/WPA2 support working, presumably as an extension to the net_server, just like dhcp is.

	
== WebPositive ==
=== Reasons For ===
 1. BeZillaBrowser/Bon Echo/FireFox 2.x is outdated and is a constant blemish
 1. In ways, it is more advanced than BeZillaBrowser
=== Reasons Against ===
 1. Missing functionality that users expect in a browser
=== SubTasks ===
 1. WebKit as optional build feature
 1. Integrate WebPositive in repository
   * for next alpha, perhaps just an OptionalPackage?


== ACPI ==
 1. wide spread testing
 1. http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/5064
 

== Package manager ==
=== SubTasks ===
 1. UnionFS needs to be implemented, such that one can edit a file that has been inserted by a package (like config files).
 1. thorough testing required
 1. test packages need to be created


== IRQ Routing == 
  Fill in details.


== Debugger ==
 1. not quite ready for public consumption yet.
 

== Media Kit Encoding Support ==
  Fill in details.


== TTY Layer ==
=== Reasons For ===
 1. Would allow Haiku to be debugged by another installation of Haiku
=== Reasons Against ===
 1. More frequently, new hardware is missing serial header


== Stack and Tile ==
=== Reasons Against ===
 1. Requires much code refactoring before merging into trunk


== Session Management ==
  Fill in details.


== Content Based Search ==
  Fill in details.

= Random Questions =
 1. What is needed to make the Locale Kit public?
 1. What needs to be improved for the Locale Preflet?
