Hello, all. As every year GNU participates as umbrella organisation at Google Summer of Code. So if you willing to be a student or a mentor feel free to discuss the ideas here. Just few ideas to start with: -USB. It needs a lot of fixing and EHCI port. -AHCI. Really needed -Some other hardware which may contain something bootable. We will probably have a network subsystem contributed by IBM before Summer so making more cards to work would be a good project -Multiboot mission. Port widespread payloads to multiboot (FreeBSD, Linux, ...) -New port. The best idea now is probably ARM. More info follow in separate e-mail -Better video cards support -Native windows and ReactOS loading (not chainloading) -Parted integration -Booting time reductions by various means like using multicore and parallely loading and decompressing Have a look at https://savannah.gnu.org/task/?group=grub This list is only an entry point into discussion. Feel free to propose. Also some of items may be too small for a SoC. They can be bundled together
