I know it's fairly stable, but it's getting out-dated. I've heard various
ideas being kicked around that I think are necessary but that haven't gotten
any work:


   - migrate from the visor module (deprecated) to hal in order to
   support newer devices while maintaining support for older ones
   - prevent installation of non-prc/pdb files, as they cause errors and
   lock-ups (this should be really easy?)
   - automatically wrap pictures in pdb containers to make them readable
   by splash-photo (somebody has already written a program to do this and
   released it under the mozilla licence, just requires some integration)
   - run an auto-detect to determine which device, connection speed, etc.
   to use rather than making the user enter it manually (should be easier when
   hal migration is complete)

I can program in java and .net and I'd be willing to learn c++ or whatever
to implement some of these, but I don't know where to begin.
