Hello!
I fully support your proposals and they actually mirror some of my own wishes for TDE. (Please excuse me for mentioning all of them in a single reply.)
OAuth support is imperative in 2024 and it's in my plans to add the support but I think it depends on a good modern web engine (TDEHTML of course won't work with GMail's OAuth authentication page). I was hoping to attempt a WebKit port once I get a machine powerful enough to build WebKit but unfortunately I don't know when that will be.
Touchpad settings are another thing I wanted to look into. It seems adequate to assume most users are using libinput nowadays, so we need a TDE Control Module to wrap its settings. I think there is a library we can use for that.
I used to use FBReader a lot and I agree it's a superb application (even though its UI takes a little getting used to). If it has a Qt3 version, we can maintain that, I think, especially since you mentioned its development is abandoned.
Unfortunately, of course, there are few of us working on TDE, so it might take some time. Probably the easiest proposal to implement is get the old GPLv2 version of FBReader under the TDE umbrella. The source code is available here:
https://github.com/geometer/FBReader
We might have to rename it in order to avoid conflicts with the developers of the proprietary version (TDEReader??).

Hello
I think it would be very interesting to incorporate in TDE control center a 'touchpad' settings section or add extra touchpad-related options to current 'mousepad' section. Specific touchpad options as enable/disable touchpad, enable/disable tapping, set how scrolling... In the sense of http://qsynaptics.sourceforge.net and https://github.com/sibskull/synaptiks but instead of being based on synpatics, perhaps based on (or additionally supporting) libinput.

That may be a red herring, actually. Claws-mail (https://www.claws-mail.org/) doesn't have a complete HTML rendering engine but does have some level of OAuth2 support. Might be worth looking into their code.

All the mentioned points are very valid and in fact have been talked about either on ML or internally in the past, especially the OAuth2 support for kmail.
I never used fbreader, but this seems like a good candidate to be added to TDE, especially if it could already be built with Qt3.
@Alexis: would you mind creating three Issues on TGW to track the requests? As Philippe said, it may take time to get them implemented, but it is good not to forget about them in first place :-)
Cheers Michele
