Dudley and Wes at 2Entwine have posted a roadmap for future Gush enhancements. I am salivating.

Gush Blog: Roadmap

Lots of people have been asking what we have slated for the next release, or when will their favorite IM/Newsreader feature will be included. Typically, our answers range from "you mean we need another release?" to "that feature will be included over my dead body."

We've put together a list of things we think are necessary to take Gush to the next level. Our goal is to get 1.2 out in about 6 to 8 weeks.

Here are the "big ticket" items we have planned for 1.2:

[excerpted just the headings]

• File Transfer
• Multi-user chat
• Nested Buddy List Groups
• Internationalization
• Conversation Gems
• Presence messages
• Revamp Login screen
• News feed synchronization: Synchronize news feeds between multi-machines
• Embed Mozilla instead of Safari on OS X
• Post 1.2 features:

  * Searching / Indexing conversations and news entries.
  * End-to-End Encryption
  * File Sharing
  * Announcement improvements
  * 3rd party APIs
  * Video chat
  

Quite an agenda. Nested buddy lists is my contribution to the mess, by the way.
