Laxkit Roadmap
--------------

What should be done to progress to the next version. Not final!


VERSION 0.0.6
-------------
       Be able to pop out 3 packages: laxkit, laxkit-dev, laxkit-doc.deb? readup cdbs...
       Clean up patch controls
       font management should be finally decided upon (xft/fontconfig? pango/freetype/antigrain?) and implemented 
       FontDialog (which means working out fonts, big task!)
       By hook or by crook, handle left-to-right, right-to-left, and mixed text
       Drag-n-drop
       make some replacement for using Xlib Atoms, as currently, many silly Laxkit Atoms are left behind
         in X after programs cease

VERSION 0.1
-----------
       lots of testing by other people (perhaps via laidout) 
       support for multicontact, multipointer, and multikeyboard interfaces
         food for thought:
           MPX: Multi-Pointer-X, an xorg associated work in progress
           Jeff Han's multicontact surfaces
           http://www.nuigroup.com
       add descriptive pictures of the widgets and interface objects to the documentation
       have the integrated short-cuts/actions mechanism in place
       some sort of basically useable color management should be in place, via lcms
       all planned core widgets must be at least slightly usable
          (see Lax Checklist in doxygen docs) this includes among other things:
         ColorPicker
         PrintDialog
         RailSlider (like a 'valuator'), could double as a 1-d scroller
         SliderInputPopup
       LaxInterfaces basics, meaning anInterface, InterfaceWithDp,
         ViewerWindow, and ViewportWindow should be more or less stable, and all 
         (almost done) current specific interfaces should work within that system correctly
       perhaps have the swappable graphics backend in place
       some sort of either test bed, example, or actual classes geared for opengl
