	* Write an IO Storage procedure for proper streaming support, so the CWMM classes could handle more than just Icecast streams (the current one fails because it doesn't get the expected header which prepends the stream)		* Write an IO Storage procedure for proper streaming support, so the CWMM classes could handle more than just Icecast streams (the current one fails because it doesn't get the expected header which prepends the stream)
	* Add Storage IOProc support to Format IOProcedures which ~~doesnt~~' supports them (like JPEG I/O, PNG I/O, MP3 I/O, OGG I/O, Vorbis I/O, etc.). ??? Every format I/O proc supports storage I/O procs out of the box. Otherwise you couldn't use them because the access to the filesystem is implemented using a ~~sorage~~ I/O proc. Strictly spoken the format I/O proc isn't aware of storage. MMOS2 handles the stuff. !!! Not every FIOProc uses SIOProc. Above IOProcs uses direct file access instead of SIOProc. FIOProc MUST be written with SIOProc support in mind.		* Add Storage IOProc support to Format IOProcedures which doesn't supports them (like JPEG I/O, PNG I/O, MP3 I/O, OGG I/O, Vorbis I/O, etc.). ???

There is a lot of proprietary software running under Linux OS. But there are other good open source licenses on the [[http://www.opensource.org/licenses Open Source Initiative]] page. I think that if a replacement kernel is created for OS/2 it should be open source, since it will gain vendor independence, and will have more probabilities to be maintained in the future.

			* Another search system is [http://www.glscube.org/ GLS3], uses Lucene and PostgreSQL, but I see it uses FUSE to create a virtual file system, so probably not good for porting.

			Create os/2 executables project as companion to config.sys documentation project. The goal would be to at least know the purpose of every installed executable and dll.
