I think the strongest requirement at this time is for developers. A
few things that spring to mind that need to be worked on:

- Camera is not working
- build scripts need to be modified to build "updatable" versioned
disk images again, so that olpc-update can start working (and the code
that supports this in the new initramfs will need to be tested/fixed)
- switch to ubifs for new installs (ok, not necessary, but this is so
easy it's worth doing -- all info is on the wiki)
- screen rotation is broken
- mesh support needs finishing
- probably missed a few things

I spoke with Chris and I think we'll be able to have a  section on
OLPC trac to keep track of these things sometime now.
