| * As it is only possible to install applications on chromeOS (running on an original chromebook) via the [[https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/home|Googles webstore]] of Google Chrome, X2Go Client needs to packaged for [[https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/home|Googles webstore]].

| + | ==== Better sound support, Part 1 ==== | ||
| + | * Code has been developed to clean up how pulseaudio is called on all three platforms | ||
| + | * This brings Pulseaudio sound to Mac OS X, which currently isn't available in the standard release | ||
| + | * This also contains the option to make sound unidirectional, so you can mute the microphone directly in X2GoClient | ||
| + | * The code needs to be rebased against the current mainline X2Go client | ||
| + | * Status update: | ||
| + | * Mihai (ionic) is working on this as time permits, | ||
| + | * sponsored by an anonymous donor via BAUR-ITCS. | ||
| + | * Additional donations always welcome, though, as it turned out to be way more work than expected. | ||
| + | * no ETA yet | ||
| + | ==== Android Client ==== | ||
| + | * TheQVD project has an NX based remote desktop solution that uses nxproxy natively on Android (https://github.com/theqvd/theqvd/blob/master/nx/nxcomp-3.5.0-android.patch & https://github.com/theqvd/theqvd/tree/master/libqvdclient/android) | ||
| + | * It should be easy to mix and match this with our codebase to create a functioning Android X2Go client. (According to Mike#1) | ||
| + | * Here's a technology preview of how you can run X2Goclient on Android - no root required, but does have quite a few limitations: http://youtu.be/3h_kiY78Ks4 | ||

| + | ==== Better sound support, Part 2 ==== | ||
| + | * While X data is compressed depending on the settings chosen in the client (available bandwidth and whatnot), no such compression takes place for the audio stream | ||
| + | * Changing/fixing this may mean writing a wrapper around/a plugin to pulseaudio, or ditching PulseAudio altogether for some other sound system (which needs to be available on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux) | ||

| + | ==== Rewrite of NX Agent/X2Go Agent ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Currently, NX Agent/X2Go Agent is based on old X-Server code | ||
| + | * This needs to be rewritten so it can be built against current X.org | ||
| + | * Care needs to be taken that there are no unresolvable licensing issues | ||
| + | * HUGE Task | ||
| + | * estimated cost at regular hourly rates of an average coder: 50.000 EUR | ||
| + | * Crowdfunding planned, volunteers (both coders and funders) welcome | ||
| + | * Status update: | ||
| + | * This is now Work in Progress | ||
| + | * NX-Rewrite is taking place with the Arctica Project (https://arctica-project.org/) | ||
| + | * currently sponsored by Qindel (http://www.qindel.com/) | ||
| + | * Worked on by Mike#1 and Ulrich | ||
| + | * ETA: August 2017 | ||
