Let me know if there is anything I can do to help, and don't hesitate to ask me if you have any questions! Well, first we need common grounds to work on. We need patches to apply to *current* freeciv trunk in order to get freeciv.net version of it. Do you have such patches, or do you plan to update them soon? I don't have such patches yet, but it would be possible to modify the freeciv.net codebase to work with current freeciv trunk. Currently you have modified freeciv in freeciv.net version control. I'm going to make new implementation so that patches are applied only build time, making maintenance (update of freeciv version used) much easier. Ok.

[Freeciv-Dev] My personal freeciv 2.4 and 2.5 Roadmap
Branching of S2_4 is only a couple of Months away. With any new feature
ideas I'm already defaulting to 2.5 target in my private TODO.
Here is some thoughts about what I plan to do myself for 2.4 and 2.5.
AI
I consider development phase of default AI as loadable module to be
completed. I don't plan any other big AI changes to 2.4. I may do some
minor preparatory work for 2.5 features already.
During 2.5 development I plan to actively develop threaded ai module.
Also organization of ai related code common to all ai modules is something
I'll concentrate during 2.5 development. This includes things like
difficulty level and traits (new feature in itself), I'm not yet sure
how handicaps will be classified in that system.
gtk3-client
It would be good thing to have real gtk3-client in 2.4 already, but schedule
is probably too tight. My current goal is that both gtk-clients would use
cairo in 2.4, but so called gtk3-client is probably still gtk2-program and
renamed accordingly ("freeciv-gtk2x") in S2_4.
qt-client
Not really my personal priority. I hope somebody else gets active with this.
If nobody does, I'm currently listing this as something I actively do during
2.*6* development.
Networking
I have a number of networking related improvements in mind. As this is not
really one big feature, but a lot of individual improvements, I'm making
them constantly with slow rate. Some of them make it to 2.4, others only
to 2.5
libcurl usage
This was originally in 2.4 feature list, but I've decided to postpone
remaining part, metaserver <-> client communication, to 2.5 since it adds
new requirements to Freeciv. Avoiding that requirement for now is much more
important than using libcurl between metaserver and client (which is mainly
cleanup)
code documentation
All functions in maintained code (that is: not gui-ftwl or gui-win32)
should have function headers in 2.4
Actively adding doxygen markup is 2.5 work.
"set but unused variable" compiler warnings
These new warnings from gcc 4.6 should be fixed in 2.4. We can consider
them bugs so that they can be fixed even after S2_4 has been branched.
Note that in S2_2 and S2_3 warning was simply disabled.
Unit orientation
I consider this feature finished for now once a couple of already existing
scripting patches have been committed.
freeciv.net
I'll be more active in freeciv and freeciv.net merge during 2.5 development
Warclient merge
Remaining warclient features should be merged to freeciv proper during
2.5.
gen-roads
No real plans. Marked as something for 2.*6* in my private notes.
