<p>
Considering a working group of four experienced developers (core or steady)
with high to full time dedication, for a period of one year, it can
be realistically expected to finish between 80% to 100% of the
preceeding tasks. That is, finishing both, basic capabilities and short term
extensions.
<p>
The expertise of the working group is key to success, as experience has
shown that it takes around six months, for an already good developer,
to acquire the necessary knowledge to start producing top quality code that
integrates smoothly with the general design.
<p>
Note: the timeline reduction from two, to one year
results from updates on current progress.

Dillo already shines on:
<hr>
<dl>
<dt><b>Documentation browsing</b></dt>
<p>
<dd>With a snappy response, it certainly is an excelent tool for
consulting manuals, documentation and any kind of information
provided in HTML.</dd>
<p>
<dt><b>Local file viewing</b></dt>
<p>
<dd>Making a small library of saved web pages, images or plain text,
and a good directory structure is all that's required for building a
easily browseable repository.</dd>
<p>
<dt><b>Searching the web for specific information, or research</b></dt>
<p>
<dd>The excellent networking speed, side by side with fast rendering
makes of Dillo a very powerful tool for searching, skimming, going
back and forward, making new queries, saving interesting pages, etc.
That is, a very fine tool for web information hunting.</dd>
<p>
<dt><b>News reading</b></dt>
<p>
<dd>With its clean fonts, and soft background its very nice for reading
those sites that update daily (as newspapers or news sites).</dd>
</dl>
<p>
<center>- -</center>
<h3>Future:</h3>
In the future, with the improvements mentioned in the two year plan,
Dillo would be ready for:
<ul>
<li>Information consulting with PDAs (handhelds)
<small><b>__Working!</b></small></li>
<li>Secure (encrypted) operations</li>
<li>Serving as an API for simple applications (dpi1)
<small><b>__Done!</b></small></li>
<li>Serving as a common interface for embedded systems applications
(real-life example!
<a href="http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT2869412121.html">
<img src="more.png"alt="more..."></a>)</li>
<li>E-commerce transactions</li>
<li>Online banking</li>
</ul>
<p>
Note: the last two items would require a site design that doesn't
rely on a scripting language. That is, built upon HTTPS, (X)HTML, forms,
cookies and server side processing.
