Hello freetype-devel@ list members,

It's been a very very long time, but I have some free time in the coming
weeks to work on FreeType. Werner invited me to write a small announcement
here and I'm currently looking at the official bugs list.

I'd like to know what are, in your opinion, the most pressing issues to
work on at that point?

Apart from that, I had the following things in mind:

- Improving / refactoring the build system a little. E.g. it should be
possible to simplify the rules.mk/module.mk files considerably, and
auto-generate most of the Makefiles / Jamfiles / CMakefiles from a single
source of truth (exact format to be defined), at least the parts that deal
with the headers / sources / configuration headers and the module
dependencies.

- Improve testing (unit and regression tests to be exact) There are lots of
possibilities here, and it will probably better to do this in small
incremental steps.

Voila, I'd be happy to read your suggestions, Happy to be here.

- David Turner
