+This is an unordered list of possible todo items for Cockatrice.
+Note that "improve" and "write" always also means: "document and comment"
+
+
+Improve README.md, it is very minimalistic and technical
+
+Improve packaging:
+* Add SSL libraries to Windows build to support https links in oracle.exe
+* Improve nsis file git hash extraction, it only works if the build directory is cleared as version_string.cpp does not seem to get updated by git pull/cmake
+* Fix prepareMacRelease.sh to use default installation paths for Qt and protobuf
+* Add Mac compile+package howto to the documentation
+* Create script/... for creating Linux packages (deb, rpm, ebuild, ...) or at least an official tarball/git tags; package maintainers dislike using git snapshots so much that they rather ignore software without stable tarballs.
+* Move everything package related into one directory
+
+Write example init script for servatrice.
+
+Write a default cgi webinterface in some language for the servatrice database. Keep it simple and think about SQL-injections and other security risks - especially if you do it in PHP :-P
+
+Improve usermanual:
+* Improve Layout, Text, Screenshots; nearly everything is still quick n dirty copy and paste.
+* Add missing TODOs
+* Translate the Documentation
+* Include faq.txt and shortcuts.txt in usermanual, then remove them.
+* Rename the picture filenames to something more meaningful.
+* Create an index, lists of tables/figures/...
+
+Find a better place for sets.xml than doc.
+
+Create developer documentation:
+* Create developer manual
+* Add comments to code
+* Describe which components exist and how they work and interact
+* Describe the *.proto files
+* Comment and document servatrice.sql
+* Document everything!1!!
+* Coding guidelines
+
+Fix compile warnings (CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE, compile with clang++), this could indicate missing program functionality:
+* cockatrice/src/abstractclient.cpp:72:12: warning: enumeration value 'SessionEvent_SessionEventType_SERVER_COMPLETE_LIST' not handled in switch [-Wswitch]
+                switch ((SessionEvent::SessionEventType) getPbExtension(event)) {
+                                ^
+* cockatrice/Cockatrice.VanNostrand/cockatrice/src/player.cpp:1725:12: warning: 4 enumeration values not handled in switch: 'cmMoveToTopLibrary', 'cmMoveToBottomLibrary', 'cmMoveToGraveyard'... [-Wswitch]
+                switch (static_cast<CardMenuActionType>(a->data().toInt())) {
+                                ^
+* cockatrice/src/cardzone.cpp:127:11: warning: enumeration values 'CaseTopCardsOfZone', 'CaseRevealZone', and 'CaseShuffleZone' not handled in switch [-Wswitch]
+                switch (gc) {
+
+Update SFMT library (http://www.math.sci.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~m-mat@math.sci.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/MT/SFMT/) in common/sfmt and adapt common/rng_sfmt.cpp
+
+Prepare to update to Qt5, as Qt4 will die some day. See http://qt-project.org/wiki/Transition_from_Qt_4.x_to_Qt5 for relevant information.
+
+Move hardcoded URLs (especially from oracle and cockatrice) into a config file.
+
+Update the oracle to find all MtG extensions by itself, why the need for sets.xml when the oracle could ask the Gatherer or magiccards.info directly for this information?
+
+Update the oracle with some intelligence or improve it otherwise to deal with changes from the Gatherer.
+
+Remove cockatrice/resources/mtgforum.png as it is unused. Find other dead files or dead references to websites and files in the program code and documentation.
+
+Search git log for useful information/problems/bugs/...
