Roadmap 2024

[Norman Feske]

Hi Stefan,

thank you for sharing you ideas and plans. I concur to each point 100%.

It would be great to revive the email user-agent topic. Could this 
endeavour be a welcome opportunity to stress Goa's new Rust support by 
experimenting with (existing?) Rust-based protocol implementations 
(IMAP, SMTP...) as building blocks? Ben wondered about a natural place 
for Rust in our picture. I sense that this use case could provide us 
with a tangible way to let the combination of Rust with Genode shine.

This goes hand in hand with the audio line-of-work that I'm currently 
pursuing. If everything works out as I hope for, the new Linux-based 
audio driver can become our new default soon. If this clears the path 
towards i.MX8 sound, all the better! Personally, I'd be pretty excited 
about audio on the MNT Reform as I'm using this machine for Atari hobby 
activities that are most fun when loud.

Cheers
Norman
