Stuff planned for future releases...  (in no particular order)
Feel free to help out with any of this stuff!  :)
Please send a message to the mailing list if you have any question.

Things for the short term
=========================
- Use non-standard serial baud rates (57600 and higher) only optional.


Things for the longer term
==========================

lcdproc client
--------------

- allow more than one instance of a screen with different configuration
  sections (implementation should be possible similar to the one with
  the drivers in LCDd where File=... points to the original driver file)
- more options in the config file (clocks with offsets from localtime, ...)
- more options changeable in the lcdproc client menu
- rewrite machine_get_fs() in machine_Linux.c to use functions from mntent.h
- get rid of MTAB_FILE compile time definition (for Linux & SunOS)


lcdexec client
--------------

more flexbibility: do not just only execute commands, but
maybe also display their result in a screen, get a command's
parameters interactively using the builtin input menus,
confirmation of commands, jumping between commands depending
on the output of a command (wizards), ...


Client driver
-------------

An LCDproc client can connect, request the "client" driver, then get
all screen information sent to it!  This allows things such as logging
in remotely and starting up a curses display of LCDproc.  It also
gives another method for writing drivers.  In a sense, it could even
let you write and link in new drivers without having to recompile and
restart LCDproc...

Another bonus is that LCDproc will come with a client which can, for
example, start up a "client" driver to send "keypresses" from the
command line.  Or,

	lcdtool -key A

would have the same result as pressing a key on the keypad.
