BrainStorm: Non-Driver Software Priorities for the Platform.
Martin Iturbide:
Hi
There seems to be some necessity for the community to express what should be the software priorities on the OS2-eCS platform. But I know that many will jump to say "DRIVERS !!" and I don't want to discuss that this time, since I think that we need to see what Arca Noae will deliver on the future.
So, the question to brainstorm is "Which are the platform software priorities excluding drivers?".
There was some old 2014 discussion summary here, but you are all free to discuss what should be a priority.
Regards

Are there any finance programs supported for OS/2? We have a couple of old programs like ETeller out there. But I'm not sure the authors are around anymore.
I wouldn't mind an investment analysis program too.

My priorities are having a decent browser and good multimedia (especially video) support.
So I've learned that I'm not a programmer but can still learn enough that I'm posting this with OS/2 SeaMonkey 2.28 (currently probably the only one in the world) and regularly test FFmpeg and even libav, including contributing my test results back upstream so they don't remove us. (fate.ffmpeg.org and fate.libav.org and do the odd fix. These are the bases of most of our (and most other open source) multimedia support.
Even us non-programmers can work to have software working on our platform of choice.

I completely second what Dave is saying, adding music software to the list.

Per E. Johannessen:
I'd like to have a newer SeaMonkey version that can handle e-mail attachments without crashing.
Updated ODBC-drivers and a tool for simple editing of pdf's, (adding text, not annotations.).
