=== Working on ===

 * Johan:
   - M24 [http://trac.p2p-next.org/wiki/P2P-Next/WP4/RequirementsImplementation RequirementsImplementation]: which are we going to implement?

 * Content discovery from browser
   - Finish search API + impl, see TODOs in [http://svn.tribler.org/abc/branches/arno/d09-10-02-pluginsearchAPI-mb-r13163/Tribler/Plugin/Search.py Search.py]

 * M24 = IDL interface
    - Requirements are being revised, release end of Oct. 
    - See TODOs in [http://svn.tribler.org/abc/branches/arno/d2009-09-28-idl IDL]

 * M24 = next NextShare release.
    - Submissions before Dec 1.
    - One week code eval, possibly bouncing back to submitters.
    - Dec 7 integration starts.
    - Dec 14 integrated version sent to partners for testing
    - Dec 18 submit to Jari.
    - Parallel: Write D4.0.3 Specification document (probably includes IDL spec linked to requirements.)
    - Also: D6.5.3 the M24 release for WP6.

 * Planned items for each deliverable:
    - D3.1.1:

       * seek
       * Riccardo's SVC work
       * search API
       * p2pstatus
       * TODO: get new pic with p2pstatus showing.

 * Plan 20 sep release:
   - Richard done
   - VLC 1.0.1?
   - VOD seek?
   - Apply Milton testframework to Nitin's channels (who?)
   - Tune select() timeout period on XP:
      * Check impact of locks in Boudewijn's solution. He will refactor.

 * ULANC wants JavaScript playlist to work.


=== New ===
 * superpeers on new core
   - Add backup script for .log files
   - CPU 100% issue   

 * Project BugSquash
 * Tribler contact mail: who reads triblersoft@gmail.com and/or tribler@tribler.org?  Assign to Riccardo?
 * Release new SwarmPlayer
 * Extend M2Crypto with more curves, if OpenSSL extended support.
 * Let installer check for permissions whilst selecting install dir. Split into Standard and Custom install (latter has Select components)
 * Peer discovery bug: flag peer as local infinite loop on Boudewijn's machine 131.180 VLAN
 * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_hiding Teach]
 * Reinstall Vista-UK-E VM.
 * Hunt source of 3.3.4 Triblers via Apache Refererer log
 * Remove old files from ttuki M16, e.g. tribler_sdb_v1.sql
 * Rahim:
    - Check open_dbhandler() used to get to pop. table.
    - Asked to refactor METADATA fields: bencoding of infohash in GET_METADATA useless, etc.
    - Asked to write SwarmSize mechanism description.
    - me: Document 'url' field in METADATA for P2PURLs. 
 * Answer Dusan: why CBR
 * Investigate Dusan's bugreport about checkpointing: Session.remove_download() does not always remove checkpoint in ttuki trunk r381.
 * Implement ut_metadata (got skeleton already)
 * Ask Jari about:
   - trac.p2p-next.org, 
   - make plan for having bugfixes of MX releases open to public
 * LL networking
   - Let LL respond to solutions, mostly depends on content avail scope.
 * Merkle BEP discussion
   - 16 KB hashes modification
   - Boudewijn to write ut_pex BEP.
 * Firefox fixes
    - Turn Firefox plugin into .xpi
    - Register with Firefox Plugin Finder Service
 * Broad discussion of P2PURLs, leave up to WP5.
    - IRI support? i.e. Unicode in name? I had a quick look and I think we use IRI solution already.
 * Vista SP2 lifted limitation on outgoing TCP conns, disable our limiter when on this platform or higher (Win7)
 * Test on Win7



=== Documentation ===

 * BEP for Merkle hashes [http://www.bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0030.html now published]. Example swarm on jip still needed? 
 * Design multiple users per device solution per Pioneer's requirements (also switch userID per Session or equiv)

=== Long Term ===

 * Johan's HD performance test (see mail dd. 15-7-2009)


=== Buy hardware ===
 
 * Buy VMWare Server License to get support:
    - Call TUD knakker (7 imgs peak 16 imgs, 4 concurrent)
 * DV camera or HD cam like Canon HF-100. Made into general problem.
 * Bring ducktape for DVB-T stuff.

=== Maintenance ===
 * Run pylint/pychecker over source code. Last: 2009-03-09
 * Choker optimization for (live) seeder
 * debug multitracker
 * Integrate BitTornado fixes 0.3.12-0.3.17 (latest stable)
 * Boudewijn on Dprint.py. Check example on [http://svn.tribler.org/abc/branches/boudewijn/ mainbranch-dprint]
   - Integrate with Tribler/Debug/console stuff?
 * Monitor superpeer9 for sda problems. 2009-05-06: Has problems, stuff will be moved to barbara.
 * Edit content links on getting started page.
 * Backup ss3 to ss2 for backup. Use Gbps connection+IP on 100 Mbps NIC used for UPS signalling
 * See [wiki:TodoSystemAdministration]

=== Misc ===

     Use PS3 as Blu-ray live source? No transcoding, just raw 10 mbps forward.

=== Proj Adm ===

 * Declare travel costs Sep/Oct


=== Old ===

 * [http://trac.p2p-next.org/wiki/P2P-Next/OpenTasksVTT Coordinate work with VTT]
    - Atte (Live streaming performance test, asked by Johan to. according to mail dd. 2009-06-09)
    - Jori (ASK: tribe:// in firefox, see wiki:RiccardoTodo + VLC 1.0.0 bindings for Mac (or better: SwarmPlugin for Mac, perhaps also Linux)
    - Jarkko (SVC) 
    - Pekka Perala? (simulations)
    - Jukka-Pekka Laulajainen (Working on Milton Test Framework according to mail dd. 2009-06-12)

 * Video capture: Asked VTT to do that. My findings:
  - Works on Linux
  - Doesn't work on Win32 with 0.8.6h-ivaylo: HTTP server accepts connection but sends no reply.
