Hey everyone,

In preparation for the IRC session at 3pm (GMT-6) today
on #samba-technical (irc.freenode.net), here's a summary
of the recent roadmap thread that will act as a starting
point.

The thread starts here:

~  http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/msg32796.html

Requested features                   Owner
- ------------------                   -----

1) Proper OS/2 support with          none
~   easy "workarounds" for EA's

2) libregistry api                   jelmer

3) Improved NT ACL system            tridge

4) Integrate the framework for       David.Collier-Brown
~   checking options for
~   self-consistancy

5) add reentrancy to libsmbclient    Tom Jansen
~   and other improvements

6) internationalization test suite   Takeda Yasuma

7) Implement GETDC and MS-CLDAP      jerry
~   protocols for locating closert
~   DC

These are all realtively minor IMO.  The big
discussion is whether or not Samba 4 will be the
next release or if there will be a 3.1.

Other topics will probably include how to
split resources between maintaince of Samba 3.0
and 3.1/4.



cheers, jerry
