The "Master Plan" is:

Log Viewer
	* massive clean up of the code base (remove some of the
	  gtk 1.x cruft, enhance logic/UI separation and give
	  more consistency to the code)
	* add (optional) gtksu/gnomesu support

Dictionary
	* add new source transports, especially local StarDict
	  files, and web-based queries for people behind
	  proxies

Screenshot
	* heavy bugzilla love
	* remove the file name entry and use a filechooser button
	* rework the UI and use a vertical layout

Search tool
	* nothing, is perfect. ;-)
	* but supporting storable searches from nautilus would
	  be interesting
	* also supporting more meta-data, like emblems or tags
	  or extended attributes

There's plenty of stuff, and I hope to have everything ready in the 2.16
cycle.

Ciao,
 Emmanuele.
