* Last Updated: June 14, 2005

Disregard the date there, this file is hideously out of date, it will
be fixed up in the next release.

Here's a list of things I may or may not get around to putting
into EMchat.

This list is not in order of importance or any kind of order at all.
And just because something is on the list doesn't mean that it will
become part of EMchat.

Feel free to do any of these things and send a patch to
<emchat-devel@emchat.org>

* Todo list

** Direct TCP, file transfer/chat.

	Can't do this until (S)XEmacs has server sockets.

** Pop-up/permanent window for entering long message.

** Store offline messages and send them when online.

** Security problem of `emchat-user-password' in init file.

** Openssl support.

** Do something useful with the 'group' code.

	Send message to multiple contacts etc etc.

** Ignore that annoying spammer!
	
	There are definitely times when you'd rather not hear what
	someone has to say. Mwuahahah!

** Triggers

        Imagine running an elisp defun whenever an EMchat message matching
	a particular regular expression comes in.  This functionality
	will need to be documented carefully due to the security 
	implications, of course.

** Externally triggered messages

	biff meets EMchat.  "Hey, you just got some email.  You better 
	read it."  Or maybe "The power is out and your UPS just kicked 
	on.".  The sky is the limit.

** PostgreSQL support

	Take advantage of XEmacs' PostgreSQL support for storing and
	retrieving all kinds of useless data about your contacts.
