Basically the missing stuff is all the tickets on https://projects.fsck.ch/profile/ plus one or two modifications i have in mind that simplify changes to /etc and manual profile selection. Plus tighter integration with power- management if possible (profile.sh needs to know what triggered a suspend command, ie low bat, user suspend by command line, lid switch or button). If you want to help you could either start with some very simple tickets (#13 or #14) or quite simple ones (#4, #5) or thinking about #2. If you want to help with powermanagement integration, I can give you a more detailed description of the problem (nate@ requested one some time ago, but i don't know if he had time to work on it). The manpage definitely needs improvements, but i'd like to leave that until later, because i expect a few things to change in the handling of profile.sh. However, I don't have any time to answer questions during the next two months, so if you want to help, you're on your own until then. thanks, t.
