time module
button boxes

VISH

check and verify module unloading functionality
support for GUI main() as a plugin
compound parameters

- adding web services based on help text rating
- interface semantic web technologies
- make use of Story representation
- implement functionality in VISH as most as possible instead of qVISH
...

Major projects

GTK GUI representation
FLTK GUI representation
wxWindows GUI representation

Libraries which might be worthful to interface

There are various libraries around which offer complementary functionality. It might be worth to look at them and eventually interface them through some VISH plugin. Here, we collect such libraries, and seek for motivated programmers to work on a possible VISH integration. Feel free to add any more suggestions and/or to state an assessment/status report here.
