 TODO/bugs In SILC Server
 ========================
 
- o Add perhaps /var/run/silcd.pid for PID information for the server.
+ o On normal server the channel count can go negative (like -3 channels).
 
- o Update idle times only for private/channel messaegs.
+ o Change the sever to connect to another server from low ports (706)
+   and not from high ports.  Currently we cannot do incoming connection
+   checking by remote port because the port is not fixed.
 
- o Add a timeout to handling incmoing JOIN commands.  It should be 
+ o Add a timeout to handling incoming JOIN commands.  It should be 
    enforced that JOIN command is executed only once in a second or two
    seconds.  Now it is possible to accept n incoming JOIN commands
    and process them without any timeouts.  THis must be employed because
    each JOIN command will create and distribute the new channel key
    to everybody on the channel.
 
- o The backup router support described in the protocol specification
-   should be done at some point.
+ o Optimize the JOIN command in normal server.  When router returns
+   command reply for JOIN it returns the new channel key.  We however
+   still create new channel key when processing the pending JOIN command.
+   This works ok but is not necessary.
+
+ o Optimize the WHOIS and IDENTIFY commands to somehow check whether the
+   requested clients are on some channel that the server knows about.  If
+   this is the case then the request is not needed to be forwarded to the
+   router.  One specific optimization could be done with JOIN command.
+   If the previous command to the WHOIS and IDENTIFY commands are JOIN
+   command (from the client) it can be expected (though it must be
+   verified) that the client is resolving the users on the channel it just
+   joined.  If server has done this once there is really no reason to
+   resolve it twice (from the router), it can reply directly back with
+   the information it knows.  This is because the server would (will) 
+   receive notifications from the router for users that are on a local
+   channel.
+
+   The same is with whowas command.  Actually with all these commands
+   it should be checked also whether the requested information is local.
+   If it is, there is no reason to send it to the router, since the server
+   knows it best.
+
+ o Add support for sending the LIST command to primary router on normal
+   server to receive all the created channels.  Currently the command
+   returns only the channels the server knows about.  The protocol spec
+   does not prohibit of sending the LIST to the router.
 
  o Incomplete IPv6 support:
 
 	o silcd/serverid.c and its routines supports only IPv4.
 
+ o Add perhaps /var/run/silcd.pid for PID information for the server.

  o New configuration file format must be added.  The new one will be
