o = todo
X = done
? = maybe but not likely
M = more testing
I = in progress
W = waiting on other work

M  it seems possible to crash a QF server still - need to fix this!
M  Scitech MGL used in win32 is screwed - dump it and use SDL
I  GL is still way too slow
I  Client side QuakeC.
I  mingw cross compiling
I  merge nq and qw code bases
W  fix skybox/dome vis problems (workable solution found, needs new renderer)
o  ogg support
o  It's possible to stick on some obtuse-angled corners qwsv 2.3x didn't
o  better server control of certain cvars
o  triggers (f_respawn, f_death, f_took; cl_triggers)
o  software PCXs don't work in X11 at least if you're using 16/24/32 color
o  stateful console (eg, rcon mode, chat mode, normal command mode...)
o  menu rewrite
o  scripted hud
o  doublesize modes (eg, render in 320x240 but display in 640x480)
?  more direct intra-team comms (eg, talk to offense or defense directly)
?  Draw_Pic and friends need a cleanup in GL at least
?  console commands to see a user, ignore talk from them, etc
?  improved crosshairs (custom file, 32 bit for GL, etc)
W  software targets should mix color at 16/16 or 24/32 color
?  Draw_Pic and other tex draw functions should use local palettes
?  wad loader should load wad3 and fall back to wad2 if necessary
?  better control over client console logging
?  ban reasons and expire times
?  no 512 entities limit (protocol limitation)
?  large or infinite (!) maps (currently has +-4096 protocol limit)
?  redirection for file downloads
?  way to change con back besides changing mod dir (csqc likely)
?  server-side demos
?  movie-like demo controls (fastforward, rewind, step forward and back, seek, etc)
?  delta compression for protocol
?  transmit nails as source/direction/speed/time rather than direction/location, to improve delta compression
?  custom particle explosions (doable via csqc)
?  server should shutdown cleanly when it recieves SIGTERM and SIGHUP
?  client-only commands (rejected if done via a server stuffcmd)
?  ~/.quakeforgerc should support all commands, not just set and setrom

These are explained better in doc/ideas/rhamph.txt:
?  portal vis system
?  remappable portals
?  room duplication
?  randomly generated maps
?  variable detail models
?  skeltal model animations
?  Inverse kinematics
?  variable detail walls

Decided old menu structure was pointless and nobody cared.
So we don't forget something in the binds menu:

  Attack
  Change weapon
  Jump / Swim up
  Walk forward
  Backpedal
  Turn left
  Turn right
  Run
  Step left
  Step right
  Sidestep
  Look up
  Look down
  Center view
  Mouse look
  Keyboard look
  Swim up
  Swim down
