 You will need to add an extra tab to the Options menu where the user can configure his/her cloud account and specify a path where ScummVM should look for saved games. You will have to come up with all the implementation details since they will heavily depend on the cloud service(s) you choose to support (preferably at least two).
+=== SCI tools ===
+Technical contacts: our SCI team; talk to us on IRC, or send an e-mail
+Difficulty: Medium. You'll need to know or learn about SCI internals.
+We're in the process of reverse engineering modern SCI games (SCI32 games, from the generation of Gabriel Knight 1, Quest for Glory 4, Space Quest 6, etc.). For testing and debugging purposes, having access to good tools to study data files, resources, scripts, and run-time behaviour can be very useful. A number of such tools already exist, including some of our own tools, tools from FreeSCI which need porting to ScummVM, and a few external tools. You may identify gaps in the currently available tools, and in discussion with our SCI development team, propose ways of improving or integrating these tools, with the goal of making it easier to develop support in ScummVM for SCI32 games.
