Proposals
Add your proposals here. Remember to sign them so we know where do they come from. Just explain the brief concept. If you have further explanations post them somewhere and link from here. Thank you!


 * 1) Chess clock only function: It would be great to use the N900 as a chess clock only if there is a real board and a "real" opponent is available. The functionality will be in the apllication so a nice UI for this function is all what is needed.--jukey 21:57, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) Chat via freechess.org should work as plugin for the messages application (xmpp/skype/googletalk/...) at the moment. How could this be done?--jukey 15:21, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Integrated in the roadmap:
 * 1) Possibility to play a game human vs. human offline. In this case the board should flip 180° between two moves.--jukey 21:57, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) savegame feature for human vs computer and human vs human games cause the game tends to take quite a while.
