    From Utopian Galt #1@815.Wwivnet@11:1/101 to All on Tue Dec 2 00:32:34 2025

    Is there any roadmap for a 2026 edition?

    Simple and practical goals to make the program better and not canibalize excessive time of the maintainers?

    not a roadmap, but areas that i plan to work on in 2026:

    1) file transfer protocol rework - i am not sure if upload/download functions still work properly using X/Y/Zmodem, etc, but this appears to be a bug that bites us in a lot of areas (not just in the Transfer section). this is critical for the QWK messaging for example, and in message upload/download, as well as for the File section.

    2) down in the weeds work on network sub subscribing/unsubscribing, autosend foundations, blah.

    3) file transfer area rework - not a big priority for me, but for completeness, WWIV has to have a working file transfer area.

    4) WWIV-web interface - not necessary, but would be fun to have, or even just a JSTerm like thing. or a package WWIV sysops can just install and then have their BBS accessible via a web browser easily.

    Such as auditing the protocols with the various functions?

    Yea, windows and linux should have some autosend type features.

    3) file transfer area rework - not a big priority for me, but for
    3) completeness, WWIV has to have a working file transfer area.
    LFN support? Maybe people can toggle if they want lfn or not.


    4) WWIV-web interface - not necessary, but would be fun to have, or even
    4) just a JSTerm like thing. or a package WWIV sysops can just install
    4) and then have their BBS accessible via a web browser easily.
    Like synchronet as an example?
