[Knode-devel] My feature plan for 4.0

[Roberto Selbach Teixeira]

We're less than a month away from the 3.3 release so maybe it's time to think 
of the future, especially now that knode has at least two active developers 
maintaining it after a long time.

So I thought I'd lay out some of the changes I think are in order for after 
3.3. It'd be interesting to meet people in aKademy to talk about these things 
as well (maybe even implement some of them during the hackfest).

These are the things I'd like to do immediatly after 3.3 is released more or 
less in order:

  * replace our ancient composer window for Komposer
  * finishing the long overdue kmail look and feel changes
  * change the article viewer to a khtmlpart -- also long overdue
  * PGP/MIME support

Aside from these changes, there are a few things that we should have as well. 
I may do those if nobody shows up with them first (they're lower priority for 
me):

  * improve our attachment handling (including support for that
    yysomething everybody and their mothers are asking on bugzilla)
  * remount binaries splitted in several messages

And, of course, fixing outstanding bugs. Some of the rewrite needed by the my 
changes above will most certainly turn a lot of current bugs invalid, 
hopefully avoiding creating too many new ones :-)

Volker, I'm not sure what your plans are, but if we manage to do these things, 
we might even finally reach 1.0 somewhen in the not so distant future :-)

Any comments?

	Roberto.
