 *Players could maintain list of friends(buddies) on their profile and could check quickly whether any buddies are online at the moment
 * In regards to what information may be made public / private , i have included more details in the [[#Tips from the Wesnoth community|Tips from the Wesnoth community]] below.
 While there is a contention in the fact that people who have been playing for a while and have won many games, will have to start afresh on their profile stats, I feel this problem may have a solution.The current stats from the ladder websites could be ported in to the profiles and players could continue from where they left off on the ladder. This process may be achieved in many ways, either by correspondence with the admins of the ladder websites, or by the players themselves, whichever is feasible.

 *Game Search system based on criteria - This may only be needed by players if the number of games is seriously large .
 *Player ranking system ( **Controvertial!** )  –  depends heavily on feedback from players and devs !

 Sirp mentioned that Mist and himself are working towards integrating the forum profiles with the wesnothd profiles. I would be happy to assist with that in any way possible, or perhaps even implement components of it, if assigned to the task.
-I intend to keep controversy out of the profile system if I get to implement it. This means that either, player stats from a current popular ladder website are imported into the profiles, or not making the win/loss stats in the profiles public. The profiles I intend on making are primarily to maintain buddy lists and give online status indication (idle or not) which I think would be very useful.

 As far as storing data goes, I haven’t thought about it explicitly yet.  Another couple of days of exploring wesnoth code would give me a better idea of efficient data structures commonly used. Please check back here in 3 days to get more info on this issue.

Breaks , exams , assignments have been indicated clearly and details of work to be done in every time period has been included. Whenever assignments are due or exams are present my work habits will be affected for one or two days before the due date , sorry ! But during breaks , I shall be working full time and there will be no disturbances in work habits .

 *Players could have a real time indicator on their profiles if they are online of not , and maybe also have an indicator if they have been inactive(idle) for a certain period of time. This would reflect even while playing a game , so if an opponent(after almost being brutally defeated !) is idle for 10 mins and does not reply to chat , the player in his good judgement can leave the game .

 I am familiar with Linux environments which is where most of my coding is done. However, one of my home pc's has windows on it where I use Cygwin to compile programs. But I prefer Eclipse for Java and C++ projects. My favourite code editors other than Eclipse are Kate on Linux and Notepad++ on Windows.
-I have used SVN extensively for coursework and use the Tortoise SVN shell extension in windows for version control. I am also familiar with basic Networking concepts
+I have used SVN extensively for coursework and use the Tortoise SVN shell extension in windows for version control. I am also familiar with basic Networking concepts . I am also familiar with multi threaded programming as in my 2nd year I have developed multithreaded programs in C using POSIX threads , and of course in ADA.
 My teamwork experience is as follows:
 * In my 1st year I worked on a Java version of BlockOut in a team of 4 people
 * I am currently working in a team of 6 on a year long project to develop a Linux Robotic Framework (in C)
 * I have worked in groups of 2-4 for numerous presentations on topics such as AJAX etc
