Done stuff

(not neccessarily done by me ;-). All this stuff should be is GPLed.

• Dictionary with i-search (windows, linux, nice!)
• Almara photo editor (linux, windows with X, nice!)
• J2ME web browser (actually usable; does not handle images well)
• Program for printing calendars (windows)
• Bridge builder (windows, quite slow, good code to start from)
• Automatic rotation of photos (very tricky to make it work)
• GTK maxima frontend (easier than command line, but could be improved)

Todo list - Linux kernel things

• Possibility to paint graphics using escape sequences to fbcon?
• Make option vesa=ytwice, that is similar to ywrap, but does not require inteligent gfx card: copy each line twice
• Make scheduler perform better under light load
• Create stress program for testing kernel (with features like disallowing all allocations)
• Make linux behave better when FS crashes (NFS server turned off etc.)
• make netnice work on networks connections

Todo list - userspace things

Pockej, tak to je nekde malinko lepsi zadani, aspon tak odstavec na
kazdy.

No, v podstate. To tvoje by mel byt kus softwaru, ktery tomu tvymu
notebooku umozni pouzivat porty/klavesnici/mys/ethernetku od desktopa
na kterym to pustis. Mezi notebookem a desktopem bude aspon tak 10MBit
ethernet.

> mosix?

No, predstavuju si ze pripojis toho notebooka k desktopu, a najednou
programy na tom notebooku pobezej rychlejc, protoze budou pouzivat
procesor/disk/pamet toho desktopu [ktera byva rychlejsi]. Podminka
byla ze [po dostatecne dobe na uklidneni] pobezi ty programy plnou
rychlosti jakou by bezeli kdyby byly nainstalovany na
desktopu. Propojeni bude aspon 100Mbit ethernet.
