	~~=== Basic ingame lobby ===~~

	~~Estimated difficulty: '''high'''~~

	All existing Spring interfaces (lobbies) are either difficult to customize for game developers or have a different look and feel from the game itself and require focus switch from the game itself to operate.

	~~A new lobby should be implemented with customization and control in mind, using Lua scripting and reusing Spring codebase where possible.~~

	~~The engine's start screen should be replaced and integrated with it.~~

The solution could be a file included into games that contains a list of AIs known to support it. The lobby clients would read this file and block the user from adding unsupport AIs. This kind of whitelisting is already implemented for maps as [[Validmaps.lua]], so it would be nice and consistent to follow the same logic.

			Not all [[AI:Skirmish\|AI-bots]] work with every game. If an AI is added by the player into a game that it does not support, the player experience is unpleasant: Best case the AI simply does nothing, worst case the game hangs or crashes.

	~~=== Internationalization support ===~~

	~~Estimated difficulty: '''medium'''~~

	~~spring currently doesn't support any internationalization. Many of it can be done with lua inside a game, but some can't be done, like:~~

	* error messages
	* the game menu
	* springs engine callins need to support utf-8 characters, so utf-8 characters can be printed.

	~~=== FontConfig support ===~~

	~~Estimated difficulty: '''medium'''~~

	Spring already uses freetype2 for the font texture atlas generation. But it loads the used fonts from its VFS and cannot access system installed fonts yet, neither does it allow selecting the font's `style` (cursive, bold, ...) if it is included in the same ttf. Using fontconfig would solve all this. Windows support is wanted, too. If spare time is left unicode support would be appreciated.
