I really don't see browsing as important for the devices that Opie runs
on. But since no one else seems to agree, I am happy to work towards
having that.

Syncing with OpenSync is by far the most important thing to do in the
next release.

Otherwise, I see 1.2.4 to be mostly a bugfix only release. 1.2.5 should
take the syncing ball and run with it, by completely eradicating the
security flaws that Opie syncing has by design. 1.2.6, if it comes out
would be the first step towards moving away from using root as the
default user (at least in the 1.2.x series, it used to work in 1.0.x).


That is the bulk of my plans for Opie.
