New TODO process

New TODO process

Hi Everyone,

oFono project has been getting frequent requests for project status and 
roadmap details recently.  In an effort to add some visibility to these aspects 
we decided to implement a new process.

The idea is quite simple: identify the gaps in oFono features and try to 
estimate the relative complexity and priority of implementing these features.  
The list can be used to quickly understand the relative status of oFono (what 
works, what doesn't work.)  In addition, people interested in contributing to 
the oFono project can use this list for an idea which tasks/features they can 
contribute.

We have started this in the TODO file in ofono git repository.  It is by no 
means complete; we expect that this list will be refined and expanded over 
time.

If you identify any oFono feature gaps, please submit a patch to this mailing 
list describing the feature.  If you have completed a particular feature, 
please submit a patch to remove the task from the TODO list and update 
doc/overview.txt to mention that this feature is now available.

Let us know what you think!

Regards,
-Denis

I'm sure all managers are excited about this :)

I also think it's a good idea. Just keeping the document up-to-date is
the challenging part.

What about hardware/modem support, any plans to document that part?
That's my main concern right now. 

Is there a list containing various types of modems and models available
somewhere? Naturally it is bound to be incomplete, but at least that
would be a good start.

just send patches against this file. Potentially I can contain whatever
we want.

This is a good solution imo and may also attract new contributors!
