== Summary ==

What features do we want to see in win32-image-writer?  The next release will focus on language support, but it would be nice to have some goals beyond that.

== Release Note ==

Some Ideas include:

 * usb drive statistics
 * conversion between iso and img, allowing a cd image to be written to usb for booting
 * ports
   * Linux (obvious)
   * Mac OS X
 * other ideas? (please add to wiki)

== Rationale ==

This is an informal brainstorm to come up with ideas to further develop our own in-house tool for other OS users to try Ubuntu images.  Enhancements to this program add a professional touch and give credibility to ease of use claims.  Plus it is just cool.

== User stories ==

== Assumptions ==

== Design ==


== Implementation ==

Most of the currently proposed ideas can be added by the current project maintainer.  Mac support will require extra help.

=== UI Changes ===

The user interface would need to change a bit to handle some of the ideas presented here.  By standardizing on QT for the interface, the UI design is easier to implement across multiple platforms.

=== Code Changes ===

Code changes for cross platform support and additional features are fairly easy to implement at this time.

=== Migration ===


== Test/Demo Plan ==

Need outside help to test on other platforms and with a larger variety of removable devices.

== Unresolved issues ==

== BoF agenda and discussion ==
