Hi!

probably is a very good DoS ... but you could help to developing some things ...

This is the "To-Do" list. You are welcome. ;-)

Thanks.

TODO

Please list the software you are working (or plan to be working) on in the first section below. Listing your name or email address for contact would be good too.

The second section below is for stuff in your todo list that you would like others to do.

IN PROGRESS

  • IBM Research Hypervisor Support for x86/ppc kernels (11/2004) -- ericvh
  • Making the fmt library more portable by safer use of varargs and adding %'d and %4$d POSIX extensions for internationalization. -- rob
  • 9P2000.u (9/2004) UNIX extensions to the 9P2000 prototocol -- ericvh & ron minnich
  • CIFS Server. Early days, but some usable functionality.
  • TinyGL. A very light implementation of a subset of the OpenGL graphics library. Already ported to several non-X windowing environments -- [EMAIL PROTECTED], stalled, better shoot for the real thing and port MesaGL. This has also stalled for a year -- the software rendering compiles with ape/pcc, but the driver for draw() is half-done.
  • LinuxBIOS Mods needed to get Plan9 to load directly from flash (no 9load) via LinuxBIOS. Also see if I can get POST codes into the startup code -- makes debugging new platforms tons easier. No impact once the node is up.
  • Read-only FFS (both UFS1 and UFS2) -- wkj
  • Native port of GSL (GNU Scientific Library): numerical integration almost working, random distributions in progress -- ++pac community 2005Apr29
  • 64-bit MIPS port. Currently targeted towards SGI's R4K+ systems. -- tim at nop dot cx
  • 802.1x supplicant. in progress, /n/sources/contrib/axel/8021x . Only supports ttls-pap, that's all I can test here. If you can test other variants, please contact me -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  • DFS layer to go on top of aux/cifs - currently a working DFS client has been bodged into cifs, the seperate layer will grow from this -Steve
  • Centrino wifi driver, mostly written, needs to be finishd, see /n/sources/contrib/rsc/ipw2200

WISH LIST

  • tiff(1) in a similar vein to jpg(1), png(1) etc. Andrey has already ported libtiff see /n/sources/contrig/andrey/libtiff.tgz which should help.
  • cdfs to be able to write to DVDs
  • SSH v2 - This project has stalled and is looking for a new owner. See /n/sources/contrib/rsc/sshv2.tar.gz
  • x86 emulator to run the VESA BIOS on PCs, basic emulator already exists in /n/sources/contrib/rsc/8i
  • webdavfs - for MS Exchange
  • Kerberos 5 client
  • replica/pull to have a -m (3 way merge) option
  • A basic http/ftp proxy - maybe cache/regex advert stripping too.
  • htmlfmt to understand tables.
  • A new option to the fossil console snap command, allowing an already ingested vac score to be inserted into the /archive tree.
  • upas/fs modified to leave mail messages on remote media rather than loading them into RAM
  • 64-bit PowerPC compilers.
  • LDAP File System Server
  • Linux binary emulator linuxemu in theory, linuxemu ld-linux.so.1 bin/a.dynamic is supposed to work, but unfortunately ld-linux.so.1 wants to be loaded where the linuxemu text segment is. you'd need to move the linuxemu text segment somewhere else and then segdetach it before calling elfload. it's entirely doable, especially since x86 code is position independent. ... The libraries have changed since I did the initial work ... looks like there are new system calls to implement! -- Russ Cox
  • Tk emulator/port.
  • Command windows instead of menus, everywhere. Maybe a single system cmd win connected to the last touched win-- ++pac
  • Input server for Chinese/Japanese/Korean.
  • Some sort of user space emulator, like qemu, for Plan 9.
  • A way for acme applications to set the 'scratch' flag (specially for win)
  • LyX port to Plan 9. This is probably going to require:
  • Self-hosting GNU toolchain, including g++. This could be restarted from the existing work.

HARDWARE DRIVERS IN PROGRESS

  • Updating LANL SIS Ethernet driver to support other chipset revisions (11/2004) -- Devon H. O'Dell
  • GigE driver for the SysKonnect family of cards (work in progress) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  • USB keyboard driver. (Some motherboards provide BIOS options to emulate USB keyboards as PS2 keyboards, but this doesn't work for everyone) -- proper solution is in progress: /n/sources/contrib/nemo/sys/src/cmd/usb/hid/
  • USB hard disk support, allowing access to IPods and other usb storage devices. In progress: /n/sources/miller/usb/storage

HARDWARE DRIVERS WANTED

DONE PROJECTS

  • Unionfs. To merge several trees without binding each directory. For example, to make a patch for a read only media. (see Divergefs)
(The following sections are to be moved to their own page)
