- TCP/IP Quality of Service (packet scheduler) daemon, for dial-up, cable and 10 Mbit networking users. It would be cool if it could internally support per-process, even per-thread throttling to be talked to via a CLI or GUI configurator program. Telcontar 2004-10-24]
- Unicode support. I know the kernel hacker hates it but realistically the world is not about to suddenly all speak English. At the very least, we need to cater for the Japanese and for Spanish/Portuguese-speaking countries. And keep Mackie happy by supporting Hungarian accented chars :) Telcontar 2004-12-01]
- Dynamic plugin support. It soon gets long in the tooth having to completely restart a chat client or a browser to add or remove a plugin, especially with large numbers of tabs open. This one is split between Cy/VOS binary/library support and the UNITY successor. Telcontar 2004-12-02]
- Character set intelligence. Especially good for searches, where for example "tiesto" would find "Tiësto" (with a diaeresis) and "don't" would find both "don’t" (typographer's apostrophe) and "dont" (omitted apostrophe). At least a subset of this seems to be implemented in Macintosh TextEdit (the old text API). Telcontar 2004-12-04]
- Nice version numbers. I don't want to see Cy/VOS become version 1.0 when only half-finished (which is where it looked to be going before) and end up at version 2.6 or some such before finally being done. Or to end up like iCab which is now at version Pre-release 2.9.8. How can you be both in pre-release and at version 2.9.8? Everyone should look to Apache for an example very modest yet realistic version number system. Version numbers are for useful comparison, not cheap marketing ploys. Telcontar 2004-12-04]
- Useful process names. It would be nice for daemons (all software in fact) to have useful names in process listings instead of little cryptic ones. Same goes for filenames of system files. Just because Microsoft adores 8.3 and UNIX likes to stick to as few letters as possible doesn't mean we have to copy them ;) Telcontar 2004-12-06]
