+This TODO list is still quite unordered.
+Any other ideas are welcome.
+
+* Features needed for 0.5 release:
+ - 2.6 Linux kernel boot for PMac & PREP targets
+ - 2.2 Linux kernel boot for PMac & PREP targets
+
+* Features needed for 1.0 release:
+ - Mac OS X boot for PMac target
+ - Mac OS 9 boot for PMac target
+ - NetBSD boot for PMac & PREP targets
+ - OpenBSD boot for PMac & PREP targets
+ - AIX boot for PREP target
+ - Windows NT boot for PREP target
+ - user should be able to tune the boot process:
+ x choose boot partition
+ x give special arguments to the bootloader
+
+* Short term fixes:
+ - ASAP: as soon as qemu floppy work again, check floppy boot process.
+ - 2.6 kernel boot.
+ - OSX / Darwin boot
+ - video output is mostly broken for PREP target
+ (reported by Bruce Beare (bbeare) <bbeare@cisco.com>)
+
+* Fixes:
+ - fix the OF tree.
+ - fix the bootinfos (seem buggy and are incomplete)
+ - check why OF_blockdev_set_boot_device may be called more than once.
+
+* Features to be tested:
+ - PEF loader
+
+* New features:
+ - User prompt is needed when multiple bootable partitions are found.
+ - in libfs
+ x ext2 support
+ x isofs support
+ x more filesystems ?
+ - in libpart
+ x Fix IBM PREP CDROMs boot for AIX & WinNT for PREP
+ x add more partition mappings (BSD slices and ?)
+ - in libexec
+ x Windows NT xcoff support (code exists but is to be merged and tested)
+ x Add dynamic linker (needed to boot Apple hardware check CDROMs)
+ - new libfilter:
+ x compression & encryption (gzip for OpenBSD boot, ...).
+ - in libc
+ x Add missing string and memory functions
+ x Add filename/URL manipulation routines (canonicalize, ...)
+ x nls support (code exists but isn't merged).
+ x Add hashed objects support with special cases for strings & unicode strings
+ (code exists, need to be tested and integrated).
+ - New architectures support (generic CHRP, MVME, pegasos, ...).
+ To be coordinated with Qemu improvments.
+
+* Future direction for OpenHackWare:
+ - Improve code split & structuration:
+ x split all device drivers
+ x make OF interface _really_ optional: currently, some devices won't be
+ registered/initialized if OF is not present.
+ For this to be, we should have an internal representation for all devices
+ and OF should become just an interface to this internal tree.
+ - Improve memory management.
+ - Add unitary tests for most library functions
+ - Improve exception vectors
+ - Add virtual devices support for RTAS (virtual SCSI & ethernet)
+ (preliminary code exists but is far from being usable).
+ - Use unicode for internal strings (UTF-8 or UTF-32 ?).
+ - Improve build system (current one is really ugly).
+ - Real forth support (preliminary code exists...).
+ - Accurate terminal emulation (some code exists).
+ - Add a generic device cache (related to improved memory management...).
