     160== Siarzhuk's Notes on GCI2012 Ideas list ==
     161This section contains my thoughts based on GCI 2010/2011/2012 experiense. All should be prefixed with "In my opinion".
     162
     163[=#sz_note1]**Note 1: Completing POSIX stuff for system-wide headers.** Should be published only in case we have mentor with good knowledge of the PSOIX requrements and corresponding experiense.
     164
     165[=#sz_note2]**Note 2: Recheck all tickets for the Application.** It is too silly to complete and gives no guarantee that we can safely close the ticket as fixed. So I treat this as useless waste of time.
     166
     167[=#sz_note3]**Note 3: GUI problems checking tasks in false category.** Should be moved to QA category. Instead I propose to invent more creative tasks for this category. For example, //Design more usefull/comfortable/informational UI layout or application workflow for the **Application**//. Propose mockups and make those tasks more creative and interesting.
     168
     169[=#sz_note4]**Note 4: Codestyle 20kb+ cleanup.** May be we should try to recruit a bit more creative coders than just a cleaning personal?
