# TODO lists
## 9front
- ACPI events available to userspace
- Certain hardware has buttons that seemingly do not produce any key
presses when running 9front. Things like brightness control, touchpad
toggle, power off button and so on. Those are quite often closely
tied to ACPI, and the firmware is responsible - it's supposed to send
the needed events to the OS. The issue is that OS (9front) currently
does not do anything to set up the receiving of such events. As a
start, setting up a callback inside the kernel and passing those
events via some file to the userspace would be ideal.
- Wifi

## Applications
- Mail
- Most users want to send mail and access remote mailboxes.
Some want to set up their own mailing system.
None want to set up an early 90's style BigCorp mailing system.
Our mailing system should reflect this by making the
basic user mail setup very simple. Only access information and
credentials oughta be provided by the user, the rest should come
set up with sensible defaults.
- nedmail(1)
- The documentation is incomplete and its usage spread between the
manpage and the `help` command, in addition to some undocumented
commands. This MUST be fixed.
- plumber(4)
- Implement `attr` object for the `matches` verb.
- torrent(8)
- Missing magnet/DHT and peer discovery
- gefs(4)
- Testing and performance improvements
