May the successor of a singular cardinal be Jónsson?

Abstract Whether the successor of a singular cardinal can be Jónsson is a very old and famous open problem in set theory. Here, we collect necessary conditions for an affirmative answer, and put forward a list of closely-related questions in singular cardinals combinatorics that could eventually lead to settling the main problem at hand.
