This is the proposed development plan. Details subject to change.
Of course. And they probably will. More than once.
Version 1 Features and Scope
- Command Line Interface - a simple command line program will
allow a user to open any configured connection.
- Manual Configuration - the only way to configure Connection
Manager will be to edit the configuration files using your favorite
text editor

the following connection types:

line interface

Version 2 Features and Scope

graphical interface based on the Qt and KDE widgets. This interface
will allow a user to manage their own connections, as well as maintain
all of the various configuration files. You shouldn't have to use
a text editor to edit configuration files unless you really want to

internationalization in however many languages I can get people to do
translations for. The Qt/KDE interface will still be english only.
