3If you are interested in contributing to this project, here's a few
4things you could look into:
5
6 - Currently there is no way on the command line to search for exotic
7   paths/types.  For instance, if reglookup encounters an unknown VK
8   type, it just prints it out in Hex.  However, if you wanted to search
9   specifically for that type, there is no way to do it.  Similarly, it
10   isn't possible to specify certain binary or weird characters in
11   paths.  Reglookup should take the user path and unquote each path
12   component using the \xQQ syntax prior to searching.
13
14 - It might be nice to have a way to filter results by security
15   descriptor information.  Maybe by MTIME as well.
16
17 - Testing, testing, and more testing.  reglookup needs to be more
18   heavily tested on all recent Windows platforms.  A regression test
19   suite would be nice too.  Some thoughts on this include a script
20   which randomly fuzzes an existing registry file, and tries to detect
21   crashes of reglookup when parsing it.  Another test script might
22   randomly truncate an existing registry file, which will help improve
23   reglookup's parsing on fragmentary files.
24
25 - Build system.  I do not wish to use automake/autoconf in this
26   project.  I have also now decided that make is painful to use for
27   everything.  I'd like to switch to a suite of shell scripts driven by
28   minimal make rules.  If you got any ideas on this, shoot them my way.
29
30 - Unicode support still needs improvement.  While parsing strings seems
31   to be decent, UTF-8 output would be nice.
32
33 - Develop and solidify regfi API.  Regfi should be better documented and
34   eventually needs a set of higher-language wrappers, starting with Python
35   and possibly moving on to Perl as well.
36
37 - Documentation.  The security descriptor output format needs to be
38   documented.  Also, function contracts should be added to the
39   lower-level functions of regfi.c.
40
41 - The smb_deps.h and smb_deps.c content is almost eliminated.  Just need
42   to integrate parts that are being kept into regfi or other modules.
43
44 - Consider switching from libiconv to Joachim Metz's libuna for
45   increased portability and easier builds.
46
47 - Grep through the source for 'XXX', and you'll find more.
