There is still a lot of things to do:

- No CPU load and wireless applet (well, old ones works), maybe better
  integration of bluez.

- Impossible to change applet list without restart (the code does not
  implement applet destructors).

- No way to close "split screen windows" (e. g. audio mixer)

- It would be nice to make possible to change some main windows to
  non-full-screen (e. g. pidgin list+talk windows, terminal+application)

- Window manager configuration does not allow to make relative size
  panels with XRandR.

- Add XRandR support code to matchbox-desktop

- Fix matchbox-common menu definition to show all installed
  applications.

- Fix everything for both "icon theme" icons and deprecated "pixmaps".

- Make possible to manipulate with windows from window list (it would
  make possible to make main windows borderless.

- Make hicolor icon theme.

- I18N

I guess it was not finished. The last race condition crash patch (which
caused several crashes daily on my Zaurus) still rots only in the
Bugzilla and was not yet checked into SVN.

Also SVN version of panel is unstable and crashing many times daily.

It looks so. There are simple and maemo managers.
