+Things that still not finished in LinCAN version 0.3:
+
++ Add proper comment to the code (many comments added,
+ but this is never ending story)
+
+- Error handling/reporting and statistics
+ Probably take concept from Ake Hedman's driver
+ <http://sourceforge.net/projects/can/>
-- Add proper comment to the code
-- Error handling/reporting
- Proc directory
-- Lot of ioctl's
-- Poll/select
+ Expose statistics through proc files
+
+- Lot of ioctl's and API compatibility
+ This is Achilles heel of all Linux CAN project's,
+ because there is no standard for CAN drivers IOCTLs
+ and messages format.
+ LinCAN has aim to be long term high quality CAN driver for Linux
+ with support for most of existing hardware, which should
+ be usable instead of many card and vendor specific
+ driver branches.
+ Actual LinCAN message format has been adjusted to be compatible
+ with Port.de standard.
+ Long term goal of API convergence should be negotiated with other
+ drivers maintainers.
+ One possible way is to add both Port.de and Ake's IOCTLs
+ to LinCAN.
