What needs to be done is making sure our userland tools stop depending on /dev/r* device nodes, since they aren't needed anymore. > - improving manpages in general Always a good option. > - FIXING PRs Always a good option. Its saddening to see it alwyas being the same people taking care of this. Even if you don't have freebsd.org access you can easily check what the originator tried on your own system and submit a follow-up saying your system (uname -a) has the same problem or not. I am busy pulling newbus manpages out of my, erhm, head. =) But I also note a lack of ata/ad manpages. I offered sos that I'd be doing them or mdoc if someone wrote the bare text. But if someone takes this task from my shoulders, I'd be happy. Also, are GENERIC and LINT in sync? Are LINT and GENERIC in sync with the manpages and vice versa? Are there tools/manpages which need to be removed but were forgotten? Check the ports tree, there's tidy, libtool, leafnode+, diablo and more ports which need updating. Some ARE NOT even the Y2k ready ports yet!!! Compile world with a memleak package and check for memleaks. Help the audit project. Make sure cross compilation works. Verify the sysinstall. Alpha support for it greatly improved. We even have booting from CD if dfr's and o`brien's stuff works! wchar support, something we NEED if we want to use OpenJade someday. Heck, it's part of the SUSv2 and C specs. Test IPv6 support! You've all been asking for it, test it. Given stream.c recent affairs, check boundschecking in code. See how we can maintain our stack and other relevant subsystems as part of the best in the world. I am also working on an up-to-date tasklist which will allow everyone to look for tasks which measure up to his or her ability and be more active on the FreeBSD project. I can't believe that Linux with its ``rabid'' users and less stable source manages to have more enthusiatic supporters in terms of fixes, additions, documentation and all that. -- Jeroen Ruigrok vd W/Asmodai asmodai@[wxs.nl|bart.nl|freebsd.org] Documentation nutter/B-rated Coder BSD: Technical excellence at its best The BSD Programmer's Documentation Project <http://home.wxs.nl/~asmodai>; Ain't gonna spend the rest of my Life, quietly fading away...
