Hello,

Here are my plans for the next couple of months with tpclient-pywx

* Convert all dialogues to be loaded from XRC files
I've wanted to do this for a long time because I spend a large part of
my time fiddling with positioning of items, sizings, etc. This will
allow me to use one of the many graphical form designers.

It should also allow me to build new interfaces relatively quickly as I
will only have to do the code to fill the correct fields.

* Get libtpproto2-py finished
libtpproto2-py is based around building packets from an XML description.
This will solve a huge amount of potential problems that libtpproto-py
has. It will also allow me to concentrate on doing other things.

* Redo the star map
I been meaning to rewrite the Star map for a long time. I would like to
create a generic "overlay" system which lets me add new types of
overlays. (IE Scanner range, population, etc).

* Add support for "docking" the windows (and other similar
functionality)
Specially under windows it would be nice if you couldn't put the windows
under each other. Could dock them on the side of the window. This will
be easy to do once the XRC method has been implemented.

Other smaller things include,
 * Create a battle viewer
 * Use the MNG display instead of the GIF display
 * General other fixes

Why I'm doing these major changes I'll try and keep a stable branch so
others can still get on with their own stuff.

Tim aka Mithro
