- Separate things like Pagekite
- Define different parts: System, Network, Software network, Certificates, Webapps, Client apps
- Monitoring the health of the system, advising when the box is underpowered or overused
- Theming engine so users can express their own preference in the user interface
- Move the data from one Freedombox to the next
- Adoption manual, some parts can be used immediately, some are dependent on other users (step by step instructions)
- KA-Lite would add education materials to the box
- Setup/management for OpenWRT-(mesh)networks
make FreedomBox reachable from the internet generally for most of the userbase without having DNS-provider accounts (or similar prior technical arrangements)
