Add a TODO file.
This will serve as my ongoing work list, and also a starting point for
anyone that wants to contribute.

+Pending Tasks for GNOME Video Arcade
+
+This is a list of outstanding tasks that need to be completed before
+GNOME Video Arcade can reach version 1.0. These are also good starting
+points for contributing to GNOME Video Arcade.
+
+Suggestions are always welcome. You can email me directly or file an
+enhancement request at:
+
+ https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=gnome-video-arcade

+
+
+- The gallery page in Properties.
+
+ This is the #1 blocker for version 1.0, and I've been indecisive about
+ it for years now. In addition to searching for the usual locally installed
+ content that every other front-end supports, I'd also like for it to fetch
+ images from online resources such as arcade-history.com, arcadeflyers.com,
+ and maws.mameworld.info. Downloaded images should be cached locally as a
+ web browser would, complete with a tunable size constraint and automatic
+ removal of expired content.
+
+ I'm unsure of what the user interface should look like. The simpler the
+ better. Perhaps just an image and a "Next" button. Other features to
+ consider are zooming and a full-screen slideshow mode (might be neat in
+ combination with the streamed music).
+
+ A GIO-based solution is preferred over adding more library dependencies,
+ but that's not a hard requirement.
+
+
+- Once the gallery feature is complete, considering adding an optional
+ in-game screen capture to the game list tooltip. Add a preferences
+ checkbox under "Game List" to turn this on or off:
+
+ [ ] Show a screen capture in the game's pop-up bubble
+
+
+- Support starting games from a saved state (<F7> key in MAME). The user
+ interface should look similar to the Recorded Games window, showing the
+ corresponding "save position" key and allowing the user to add a custom
+ description of the save state. Also explain how to save and restore
+ states in MAME via the <F7> and <Shift+F7> keys.
+
+ Obviously this would override the "Restore previous state when starting
+ a game" preference.
+
+
+- Update the user documentation and images. In particular, the section on
+ searching is badly out of date.
+
+
+- Describe how to report bugs or suggest enhancements on the website.
+
+
+- Get a new logo. Something Tango-compliant.
