Whiteboard
== Overview ==
* Need to collect changes need
== Needed Stuff ==
* Extend dbusmenu to allow for accessibility descriptions of icons that aren't described by the label (i.e. Networkmanager signal strength)
== Requested Stuff ==
* What about a kind of tooltip system? Not using conventional tooltips, but exporting basic informations (Name, description, icon) that the desktop can or cannot render in the form it wants. ???
* No :-)
* Support for more signals on indicators icons/labels (middle click/ double click) ?
* for sound, agree to test
* in general (and appindicator in particular), mpt would like a list of use cases to judge the opportunity to add those features (in the case, I can implement them [3v1n0])
* What about movable entries for indicator application?
* What about Bluetooth On/Off?
* What about different dual monitor display mode?
* Bitesize: libindicate vala vapi file should be lowercase (as standard) bug #?
* What about joining me and messaging menu? There is already a desing for this?
