* Every major UI component like the frame the home view and the control panel, should reside in his own module and be self contained. We will need a way to share a bit of code between modules likely. '''(marco)'''

* Cleanup window management. The requirements changed a lot since the code was written and we didn't do enough refactoring. The UI design is now pretty solid. We should document our window management strategy and then refactor the code to simplify and make it more solid. '''(marco)'''

* Refactor session management, it's scattered around several components right now. '''(marco)'''

* Use gconf as a backend to store the profile. '''(erikos)'''

* Figure out an ABI break policy that we can actually sustain. '''(marco)'''

* Figure out a compatibility strategy. We can't just break API because a lot of activities out there are using it. But we also can't stick with the current one because... it sucks too badly. We can either deprecate gradually or support parallel installation of two different versions. Several trade offs to consider and discuss. '''(marco)'''

* Full review of all the modules. '''(marco)'''
