  * move partitioning progress to installation progress bar
  * username/password screen needs sprucing up
  * kill hostname question (possibly requires espresso-netcfg?)
  * autopartitioning screen is a quick hack, redo once partman lets us do better
  * excise remaining Spanish strings
  * back button doesn't always work properly
  * replace breadcrumbs with "Step x of y" in bottom left corner
  * probably more

 * API shake-up to allow debconffiltered coprocesses to run asynchronously
 * actually run debconffiltered coprocesses asynchronously so UI works smoothly
 * missing UI steps:
  * language
  * location/timezone (need to evaluate existing code, e.g. Evolution timezone widget)
  * "ready to install" summary
 * automatic partitioning was broken
 * UI polishing:
  * separate windows for installation progress bar and farewell text
  * use a dialog from partman/confirm* instead of the weird "confirm automatic partitioning" checkbox
  * tell the user he needs to be root for the installer to work (if started as non-root)

UbuntuExpress to-do list

  • missing UI steps:
  • language pack support
  • yaboot installation
  • sort out espresso-grub trying to install grub from the network
  • infer country from timezone and reconfigure locale accordingly
  • combine partman and partman_commit so that we don't have to start up the partitioner again

  • change partman control flow (including in d-i, probably) to better support [:UbuntuExpress/PartitioningTool:proposed multiple-disk UI]

  • do something better than the current mountpoint selector
  • move copy/configuration code to a separate debconffiltered process to avoid progress bar code duplication and so that it runs asynchronously without messing around with threads

  • rewrite copy/configuration progress bar display to match [:UbuntuExpress/GnomeUserInterface:specification]

  • use apt-setup to generate standard sources.list?
  • lots of UI polishing:
    • move partitioning progress to installation progress bar
    • username/password screen needs sprucing up

    • excise remaining Spanish strings
    • back button doesn't always work properly
    • replace breadcrumbs with "Step x of y" in bottom left corner
    • probably more
  • sort out localisation in general
  • add glue to make preseeding work
  • KDE frontend (specific to-do items can go here later)
