Hello,

Curt posted the long-term general list, but I thought I'd re-post Mario's list from a couple of days back (on the assumption that few will ever look for it under the subject "cif card module").

Personally, I'd skip number 9 (alpha release can work in the directories as they are), but if it gets done so much the better.


OTOH, I would add:

11 - finish lib/util/puffinplc.c so that it can wait for a quit point, and
then eliminate the demo/*/demo perl scripts. They were quick and dirty
hacks to begin with and should die (I can say that, I wrote them).
