Stuff that will be done after 1.0 and before 2.0 but not yet fine planed.

 * Also see [Roadmap_1.2]

• Log:

  Use a log window, displaying latest "event", like pan2 has.
  Technically, use gtk framework (g_message) for every printed message (instead of printf on stdout)
  Git repository

• Internationalisation (I18N): Git repository

• Dynamic loadable modules
• Scripts (lua, Guile, Javascript/ECMAscript...)

Version 1.x or 2.x

• Introduce proj4 for handling projections

Version 2.x

Tile cache

• Follow FreeDesktop conventions and move local tile cache to $HOME/.cache/viking.
• Replace numerical identifier by alpha-numeric
  • 'osm01', 'osm-main', 'osm-mapquest' seem simpler to understand than 203, 204...
  • much more extensible
  • error proof: with numeric identifier it is quite complex to not overwrite an already existing tile cache (perhaps a tile cache created by the user)

Should we provide a migration utility?
