+BRLTTY TODO - March 30, 2000
+============================
+
+(This concerns the main module of BRLTTY.  Individual Braille terminal
+drivers may have their own TODO lists.)
+
+Your help is welcome.
+
+- Defining smaller regions of the screen to be concentrated on.  Cursor
+  movement outside the current region would be ignored.  This would be
+  useful if the screen was split into multiple `windows' (e.g. in ytalk).
+
+- Attribute tracking (scroll bars, etc.)
+
+- Revision of beeps.  Too many events have the same beeps, so we might want
+  to add new ones. See if we could optimize the use of the console resource.
+  Implement .au and .wav sounds (through a soundcard).
+
+- Scroll tracking: wouldn't it be great if you could continue reading the
+  line you're on even when new text is printed and the screen scrolls up?
+  Like in IRC for instance...
+
+- Better speech support.
+
+- Support for more Braille displays.
+
+- Port to other Unix platforms.  Since all Linux dependent functions are now
+  modularized in separate source files, it would be easy to write other 
+  modules to make BRLTTY usable with the screen package or such and then 
+  become available for any other Unix platform.  An experimental patch is 
+  available in the Patches/ directory.
