Gemin-i Plus Roadmap
We have plans for Gemin-i Plus, we're constantly striving to make it better.
Gant Diagram
You can see the latest version of the project-plan Gant diagram here (http://dev.gemin-i.org/Gemin-iProgress.html)
We'll try and keep that fairly up to date but it it looks like we're falling behind, it's as likely becasue we forgot to update the diagram as becasue we haven't done the work. We also reserve the right to change the order we do things, add extra functions and even delete suggested functions if unexpected things turn up unexpecedly.

Wanted Features
These features have been suggested on the forums. If anyone has any spare time, just jump in and write 'em. Many of them will make good tasks for people learning to hack on the source.
- Download Registration
Apparently the DFES are likely to want to know who downloads the software.
- Thumbs for image icons
An option in Preferences should enable a person to switch his folder-view so that image icons are replaced with thumbnails.
- Caption/Description for images
Image upload should require a description field, which will be used as an ALT type tag for images
- Clipart Gallery
A gallery of clipart, accessable from the main user drop-down menu
- Allow dynamically updating images for webcams
A new image type, which fetches the image data from another online source, usually a webcam
- Upload zip's that server decompresses
If a file-upload is a .zip file, the server should optionally extract the files inside it and add all those files individually to the homefolder.
- Robot to notify admins about banned-words
A robot that scans public communication and emails an admin if foul language is used.
- Use ffmpeg to convert uploaded .mpg .avi etc to .flv
Then many more video formats would be supported.
