 ===== Active X2Go Tasks/Features =====
+==== Sponsored Improvement Requests ====
+We have received funding from an anonymous donor that wishes to see the following issues fixed/features added:
+=== Prio #1 (not started yet) ===
+**Fix Lockup of OS X client when running multiple sessions //sequentially//**
+At present, X2GoClient on OS X goes into an endless loop and has to be force-terminated after the second or third connection attempt.
+Task assigned to: Mihai
+**Run multiple instances of X2GoClient**, or multiple sessions from one instance, all simultaneously (kind of how pyhoca-gui works)
+must work on
+  * Windows
+  * OS X
+  * Linux (probably already does)
+Stefan would love to see X2GoClient gain the multi-session feature from PyHoCa.  In fact, the GUI design of the taskbar icon's context menu hasn't made sense from the start, if X2GoClient is and will always be
+limited to one session.
+Please look at the following screenshots/mockups for a display of the current situation and two alternatives:
+^ X2GoClient current look ^ X2GoClient single-session ^ X2GoClient multi-session ^
+| {{:wiki:development:x2goclient-current-look-notgood.png?200|}} | {{:wiki:development:x2goclient-if-limited-to-one-session.png?200|}} | {{:wiki:development:x2goclient-multiple-sessions.png?200|}} |
+If that is impossible, we need to make sure that multiple instances of x2goclient can co-exist in RAM.
+Which will be a challenge for OS X.
+h1 has a design in mind that addresses multi-sesson support in one X2Go Client instance (also x2goclient2.git on git.x2go.org is capable of that, but at the moment it is half-baked and probably temporarily discontinued).
+Steps:
+  - Fix Multi-Instance on Windows
+  - Write wrapper to turn Multi-Instance into Multi-Session mode (especially important for OS X, where Multi-Instance isn't supported)
+Task assigned to: Mihai, Mihai, and again, Mihai - with some help by Mike#2 for the Windows client
+=== Prio #2 (not started yet) ===
+**Rebase the "Pulseaudio on Mac" code**
+//Side note: You need to coordinate your efforts with Mike#2 regarding the microphone mute function.//
+Task assigned to: Mihai
+**Improve x2go-broker functionality (shadowing, stable release)**
+Task assigned to: Mike#1 (8h)
+**Improve x2go-broker documentation**
+Task assigned to: Mike#1, Stefan (12-16h)
+**General improvement on documentation**
+Task assigned to: Stefan, aided by Mike#1 (hard to say, Mike#1 will coach Stefan for an equivalent of 4h to get things straight, no matter how long it takes)
+<del>**HTML5 Client**</del> tagged as unrealistic given current budget
+If budget remains, a HTML5 client would be nice.
+//There seems to be a disagreement amongst the developers regarding how such a client should be implemented.//
+  - One option would be to copy what other remote solutions are using - which means sub-par performance compared to our native NX/X2Go speeds.
+  - A from-scratch approach would bring native speeds, but is a time and money sinkhole.
+Task assigned to: <none yet> - could be Alex, Mihai, ...?
+<del>**Alternative to NX-Rewrite**</del> tagged as unrealistic given current budget
+h1 has some ideas what other F/LOSS codebases might be suitable as a time- and money-saving alternative to doing the NX-Rewrite.
+He should mention them on x2go-dev to get more feedback, then a competent C/C++ coder should look at the alternatives and evaluate them for suitability.
+Task assigned to: <none yet> - could be Alex, Mihai, ...?
+=== Work in Progress ===
+**Infrastructure and procedures** for regularly releasing a new Mac client, at least in the next 1-3 years.
+(jenkins build slave, cloud-based OS X hosting)
+Task assigned to: Stefan (currently researching hosting options); might be expanded to Mike#1, Mihai, Alex and Mike#2
