1 Implementable right now (but not necessarily important), with caveats
2 (unavailable components that will limit what can be implemented right
3 away), in order in which they will likely be done:
4 * TESTING-TESTBED [Nate]
9 * FRAGMENTATION [Ji Lu]
11 * MySQL / Postgres plugins (datastore, datacache)
17 * HOSTLIST/PEERINFO/CORE/TRANSPORT/TOPOLOGY:
18 - hostlist server learns about 2nd peer, but soon forgets!
19 - peers do not seem to connect (at least not for long!)
21 - needs more testing (especially F2F topology)
25 - load: need way to determine network load (up/down) -- and quickly so!
26 - trust: need *fast* way to check/update trust in peers
27 (async peerinfo would not be right)
28 - scheduler should change OS process priority based on task priority;
29 should make better use of task priorities in general
31 - disconnect notifications from TCP not always as nice as we might want
32 them to be (but how can we do this cleanly given that UDP is connectionless?)
33 - TCP not used bi-directionally (especially important also for PONG!)
34 Need a way for plugin to tell to service that it can *reliably* transmit
35 PONGs. Need *good* way to ensure only one (plugin) session is active at
36 any given point in time; need systematic way to periodically probe latency/
37 transport cost changes
38 - hostlist testcase shows that (randomly) we jump to an address that
39 seems to be a plugin function *after* the plugin has been unloaded
40 (directly from scheduler); check that *all* plugin tasks are cancelled
41 after plugin is unloaded! (need better testcases for that...)
43 - synchronous/asynchronous API (& implementation) is not nice;
44 => provide notification-based API
45 - does not seem to work with timeouts (especially if service is not running)
47 - add stats (# bytes available, # bytes used, # PUTs, # GETs, # GETs satisfied)
49 - need to get rid of synchronous API for service starts (cause all kinds of problems)
50 [=> eliminate for need to tell ARM about service starts most of the time!] [Safey]
52 - need function to test "equivalency" of HELLOs; use in topology!
54 - gnunet-publish cannot be aborted using CTRL-C
55 - gnunet-publish segfaults if file does not exist
56 - on some systems, keyword search does not find locally published content
57 (need testcase of command-line tools!)
58 - 2-peer download is still too slow (why?)
59 * Module features to implement:
60 - advanced FS API parts
61 + namespaces: fundamental namespace API
62 + search: SBlocks, KSBlocks, probes, notify FS-service of known results
64 + location URIs (publish, search, download)
65 + persistence support (publish, unindex, search, download)
66 + indexing: index-failure-cleanup
67 + download: management/bounding of parallel downloads (for recursive dl.)
68 + datastore reservation (publishing)
69 + gnunet-publish (URI args)
70 + gnunet-download (directory)
71 + gnunet-search (options, incl. namespace search)
72 + gnunet-download (many options)
73 + gnunet-directory (man page, options)
74 + gnunet-pseudonym (all of it)
75 + gnunet-service-fs (remove failing on-demand blocks, stats, hot-path routing, load-based routing, nitpicks)
76 + datastore: do active migration support here?
77 - implement adv. FS testcases
79 + insert: sblocks, loc uris
81 + search: sblocks, skblocks, loc uris
84 - implement FS performance tests (needs TESTING)
89 - non-anonymous FS service (needs DHT)
90 + basic DHT integration
91 + CS-DHT-functions (DHT-put of LOC)
92 + P2P-functions (DHT-get)
95 + need to settle basic design; do we want to keep guile?
97 + modify configuration to allow controlling connections for non-local starts
98 + testbed creation with topology (needs working F2F topology) [Nate]
99 + testbed with churn [Nate]
100 + implement library for distributed testing [Nate]
101 + implement testcases for distributed testing [Nate]
102 + test basic peer re-configure [Nate]
103 + test topology creation [Nate]
104 + test churn generation [Nate]
110 * Module features to implement:
112 + good to have for DV evaluation!
115 + implement DV service [Nate & CG]
116 + implement DV library [Nate]
117 + implement DV transport plugin [Nate & CG]
118 + implement testcases [Nate]
119 + implement performance tests [Nate]
122 + how to integrate scheduler with GTK event loop!
125 * Module features to implement:
127 + good to have for DV/DHT evaluation!
129 + implement DHT service (needs DV, DATACACHE)
130 + implement DHT library
131 + implement testcases
132 + implement performance tests
135 * Plugins to implement:
136 - UDP backend (RC-pre2)
137 + Fragmentation library
139 - HTTP backend (RC-pre2)
144 + see discussions @ FISL about integration with event loop!
145 * Determine RC bugs and fix those!
150 - update webpage documentation
152 - expand bibliography
153 - convert documentation pages to books
154 - update books (especially for developers)
155 - create good Drupal theme for GNUnet
156 - make a NICE download page and figure out how to
157 enable developers to publish TGZs nicely
158 - port "contact" page
159 - add content type for "todo" items?
161 * Plugins to implement:
162 - MySQL database backends
165 - Postgres database backends
169 * Determine RC bugs and fix those!
173 * Plugins to implement:
174 - SMTP transport backend
175 - HTTPS transport backend
176 + improved HTTPS support in MHD
178 * Remove KBlocks in gnunet-unindex (see discussion with Kenneth Almquist on gnunet-devs in 9/2009)
179 * Allow checking of presence of search results and/or content via command-line tools
180 (add options to gnunet-search / gnunet-download to limit search to local peer)
182 - should use BIO instead of mmap
184 - expire 'ancient' HELLOs (those without valid addresses AND that
185 we have not 'used' (for their public keys) in a while; need a way
186 to track actual 'use')
187 - make sue we also trigger notifications whenever HELLOs expire
