These aren't necessarily things on the -fast-track, and in fact consist mostly of things that the core team is -never going to find the time to do so, if most things here are going -to happen at all, they'll happen when someone reading this list steps -forward and volunteers! - -That said, a lot of these ideas would be very nice to have and would -add substantially to the perceived value of FreeBSD. Some items on -this list would add a LOT of value, for that matter, and are by no -means trivial. Take and fix an item with a (*) next to it and WC will -even send you a free CD for your troubles! It's the least they -can do for all notable contributors. - -This is a also good place to look if you're keen for a little -assignment, whole project or just something random to do. Many folks -often feel intimidated by the sheer size of FreeBSD and think "I'd -like to pitch in somehow, but god, what can _I_ do? I can't possibly -do any of the things the core team are doing - aiiggh! They'll laugh -at my code, I know it! I can't do it!" -Trust us, don't worry! Take a dedicated stab at something on this -list and most of us will applaud - even if you don't finish, you may -stir someone else into picking it up where you left off. Above all, -pick something you'll have fun doing! - -There are small things and large things in this list, and we may -periodically reshuffle it to mark things done, outdated or more -important. Tasks are tagged with a unique ID number (YYMMDDNNN) for -later tracking and are also easily machine-parsable by those seeking -to browse them with some home-rolled search program. Some indication -of relative difficulty level is also given for each task, though it -should be kept in mind that one persons "easy" is anothers -"impossible", so take the ratings with a grain of salt! :) - -If you start working on something from this list, we also suggest that -you contact the email-address listed for more information and to -provide some central coordination for your effort. If the email -address given is simply <foo> then the email address can be presumed -to be <foo@FreeBSD.ORG>. If no email address is listed, then -simply send to <freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.org>. - -Thanks! - - The FreeBSD core team. - -** --- cut here --- - -TASKID: 940820003 -TASK: Add laptop-feature to wd.c -DETAIL: { If disk just spun up, do sync when we have it running. Need -to detect that disk was turned off, e.g. had a long delay in becomming -ready again. } -EMAIL: <phk, nate> -CATS: kernel laptop -GRADE: INTERMEDIATE -STATUS: OPEN - -TASKID: 940820004 -TASK: Add hot-swap PCMICIA bus and driver support. -DETAIL: { Several teams in Linux and one in NetBSD are working on providing -hot insertion/removal and autoconfiguration of PCMCIA cards. This task -also requires some modification of existing drivers to support being used -by PCMCIA cards. This task is both really hard and comparatively easy; -hard because it's a big job, easy because others have already gone much of -the way and you have their work for reference. } -EMAIL: <phk, nate> -CATS: kernel laptop -GRADE: ADVANCED -STATUS: IN PROGRESS - -TASKID: 940820007 -TASK: Add bootp/DHCP capability to slip driver. -DETAIL: { Cisco's products implement this. Both master and slave side would be -desirable. } -EMAIL: <phk> -CATS: kernel networking -GRADE: ADVANCED -STATUS: OPEN (*) - -TASKID: 940820010 -TASK: Make iostat find the disks -DETAIL: { This is actually mostly a change to the device-drivers to collect -the information in the first place. } -EMAIL: <phk> -CATS: kernel -GRADE: INTERMEDIATE -STATUS: OPEN - -TASKID: 940820011 -TASK: Silence "cc -Wall" -DETAIL: { Lots of warnings if you try this. You will find this a challenge -actually, and it is good training in the C language.} -EMAIL: <phk> -CATS: kernel user -GRADE: INTERMEDIATE -STATUS: OPEN (*) - -TASKID: 940821001 -TASK: Add XPG-style message catalogs. -DETAIL: { NetBSD has apparently already done the necessary work, so this -pretty much comes down to either evaluating their stuff and making any changes -necessary, or simply starting from scratch. Not having seen the code in -question, I leave it up to the best judgement of the implementor as to how to -best accomplish the task. } -EMAIL: <jkh> -CATS: user -GRADE: INTERMEDIATE -STATUS: CLOSED - PENDING DOC - -TASKID: 940911001 -TASK: Make PAS16 a controller. -DETAIL: { Make the ProAudioSpectrum a controller like wdc1 and attach -sound and cdrom drivers to it. } -EMAIL: <phk> -CATS: kernel -GRADE: INTERMEDIATE -STATUS: OPEN - -TASKID: 950222001 -TASK: Make find smarter about -fstype local -DETAIL: { Currently when doing a find blah -fstype local the find traverses -through all nfs mounted file systems looking for locally mounted filesystems, -this could be short circuited by using getmntinfo/statfs.
