* Easier configurability, more than 300 options in the smb.conf configuration file are way too many |

* Internal restructuring to make contributions easier. We have come a long way in this respect since Samba 3.0 days, but we need to improve a lot. |

* Share technology with Samba 4. For example almost all RPC code in Samba 3.2 is converted to IDL using the PIDL compiler from Samba 4 |

* Implement 100% of NTFS semantics as seen by clients: |

** NTFS Alternate Data Streams support: This is done in Samba 3.2 with the streams_xattr and streams_depot modules, testing and ideas for different coding schemes for streams are welcome |

** Windows-compatible ACLs: On [http://git.samba.org/?p=vl/samba.git/.git;a=shortlog;h=ea_acl] Volker Lendecke has started coding in this area, help is welcome. |
