 This section contains my thoughts based on GCI 2010/2011/2012 experiense. All should be prefixed with "In my opinion".
 
-[=#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.
+[=#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 POSIX requrements and corresponding experiense.
 
 [=#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.
 
-[=#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.

 [=#sz_note4]**Note 4: Codestyle 20kb+ cleanup.** May be we should try to recruit a bit more creative coders than just a cleaning personal?
+
+[=#sz_note5]**Note 5: Add BFS attributes support into archive format.** Haiku has xattr emulation so we are becoming the BFS attributes support automatically as soon as corresponding archiver can work with xattr. So there are no big reasons to invent homebrewn attributes implementation.
