EM 0.9.1 plan 20.10.2006
------------------------

library:
  * geant clean does not delte EIFGENs directory, the buildfiles should be fixed to do this
  * write unit tests
  * animated 3D Objects
  * get rid of EM_3D_OBJECT
  * get rid of existing object loader: better support for obj files, support for md2 files
  * improve 3D collision detection
  * add facory for models and picasso (maybe rename this)
  * leverage linear filtering for texture issue  
  * antworld example, update other examples
  * use multiplayer framework for antworld example - no need for player finder
  * document all new API and also external things like md2 modelling howto links and links to tools
  * fix the obsolete finder related problems
  * using the borland compiler on windows it is not possible to debug EM applications 
    that call 3D API without copying the lib files to the applications 
    directory - this should be fixed for 0.9.1

installer:
  * veryfy usage of libpng13.dll - it might be that the SDL.dll we're using relies on libpng12.dll
  * create and beautify mac installer (Dominik Kraehenbuehl and Roland Haeusler)
  
doc:
  * publish class diagram of our 3D infrastructure - basically draw Matthias' picture with a tool
    rather than by hand, and explain it of course
  * error handling doc is outdated, there is no more exception
  * timer doc outdated - there is nomore EM_MUTEX
  
EM 1.0.0 plan 1.3.2007
------------------------
library:
  * TODO's
  * Modify our error handling facility to be extendable by clients?
   * and rewrite doc/developer/error_handling accordingly
  * rethink semantics of EM_APPLICATION and adapt examples.
  * find a way to name EM_RECTANGLE and EM_RECT EM_ORTHOGONAL_RECTANGLE which one is used where anyway?
  * add key_handler (EM_KEYBOARD_EVENT) to all the examples.
    point out that keyboard related things should all be treated here.
    provide nice abstractions for different examples
    maybe generate a key_pressed_event in a new ...em_keyboard_state class
    no need to use 'update_event' in order to allow repeating keys and multiple keys pressed
    equally
  * mixer example is buggy (calls on void target)
  * check obsolete finder

example:
  * cooler music visualizers
  * produce antworld dvd
  
doc:
  * write EM book

EM future plans
---------------
all:
  * TODO's
  * use AutoTest
  * use gelint

library:
  * widget todo's (new themes, new widgets etc.)
  * better and bigger vectorisation API (antigrain.com?)

example:
  * audio tracker appliacation with file export
  * 3d drawing program

EM general things
-----------------
* only checkin what compiles
* all examples have to work always
* stick to styleguides

coding:
  * add platform independance contracts wherever a path or a file is used
  * add case consitency contracts across operating systems
  * add contracts to allow only the use of '/' in paths

doc:
  * please correct bugs in the doc when you realize something is not correct

project management:
  * have one person responsible for design and a seperate one for management
  * management should follow the project more closely:
    * check deadlines of projectplans regularly
    * check styleguides regularly
    * build regularly
  * try to maintain a clear information policy: Who communicats what and when?
  * version updates of dependencies should be clearly announced
  * have sprints
  * have presentation in front students
  * project manager needs to start first, two weeks before others
  
disposal of objects:
	* dispose from MEMORY should alway first call Precursor {MEMORY}
	* Then no dereferencing should happen in the call - only expanded types 
	  like BOOLEAN or POINTER etc. can be used. As the valididty of references 
	  inside the call to dispose is not guarateed by the garbage collector.
