those (if any) or any not listed feature we could take as a project to work on.
Ideally we would like to work on a feature that has little or no work done so far, that way the project can profit the maximum from our work and we can apply all the knowledge we are being taught.
S/MIME and PGP plugins and framework?
+1 for PGP and S/MIME, that's one of the fairly important missing features. There is a draft design document on the wiki for how encryption and signing might be implemented.
Another major feature is threading support. A development branch exists with experimental threading, but I would like to see conversation-style (like Hula/Gmail) threading too.
Simultaneous access to multiple mail accounts would be nice too.

Yes, the design draft is available at http://trac.roundcube.net/wiki/PluginRepository/Encryption
see also the mailinglist discussion at http://lists.roundcube.net/mail-archive/dev/2009-07/0000143.html
and the ticket at http://trac.roundcube.net/ticket/1440396
i already spent a lot of hours with thinking about the implementation. the real showstopper for me was a propper integration of openpgp/mime into the mime parser from roundcube. you'll have to extend it a lot, as for encrypted mails, the decrypted part needs to be parsed again, and that's impossible with the current mime parsing class.
i believe that encryption support for roundcube is a perfect project for you. it's a challenging task where few or no work has been done yet, and according to the taskmanager it's a heavily demanded feature.
greetings, jonas

My vote is for contact groups. With a somewhat largish userbase we have 0 requests for PGP integration, and lots of requests for contact groups.

I also vote for PGP and S/MIME support. As I know, Horde and squirrelmail have already solutions to this topic and I guess that the lack of this feature is an important reason not to switch to roundcube. Or use encryption in general.
And concernig the amount of request to what features should be implemented. Where did you get this information. Amount of track tickets, forum posts, mailing list? I'm new to the RC project and interested in voting on the right place ;-)

Thats just from our own company. We offer roundcube as a webmail client, and we get regular requests for contact groups allowing you to send email to a list of people instead of having to add everyone separately. I have yet to see a request for PGP integration, and we dont offer it in squirrelmail either. I think the average joe doesnt use encryption. Although you could argue that if it was more accessible, they perhaps would ;)

I concur. Key management really is a pain in the ass for everybody, weither it's PGP or S/MIME doesn't change anything. So people don't use it, especially because the average user doesn't need that level of privacy. A simple user/password is satisfying enough for him. Power users, like us, probably use it from time to time. But do you really not trust an email that is not cryptographically signed ? I personnaly solved the problem with DKIM.
I vote for contacts groups.

I think PGP/SMIME are great, but are not suitable for the masses. If we would get contact groups this would make RoundCube more usable (and compatible) to the regular user and essentially this means growing the user base and installations.
Sort of related -- I've been thinking about the addressbook as well, and I was wondering if anyone had thought about doing a SyncML service for RoundCube.

I just started to implement contact groups as ticket #1485657 was already assigned to me. IDN support is currently also assigned to me (http://trac.roundcube.net/ticket/1483894) but I've not yet started to look at it. So you're welcome to try this.
