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) [Radhika]
14 Urgent items (before announcing ng.gnunet.org):
16 - test currently fails spectacularly
17 - request disconnect not implemented
18 - request connect not working
19 - various notification options not implemented
21 - (forced) disconnect does not work as implemented (still?)
22 - needs testing (not sure the current testcase does much...)
24 - timeout_hello_task is not used but should be (so we can fail
26 - check that 'GNUNET_TRANSPORT_get_hello' is associated with
27 a TIMEOUT task wherever else appropriate (other testcases
30 - test fails (looks like it works, but that's because of a bad
31 connectivity notification; somehow core is unable to send
32 messages successfully via transport)
33 * FS (basic anonymous FS only)
34 - implement FS service (P2P operations)
35 + how to send queries (soliciting is not there in core; do we
36 also want to do pushing sometimes?)
37 + need to bound queueing of replies for other peers
38 - test multi-peer search/download
40 - run peer => have a 0.9.x hostlist
41 - improve basic documentation (configure, dependencies, what works, etc.)
42 - write minimal welcome/introduction to 0.9.x-development/webpage/status
43 => Deploy(able) development network
48 - load: need way to determine network load (up/down)
49 - trust: need *fast* way to check/update trust in peers
50 (async peerinfo would not be right)
51 - OS: existing waitpid call is not nice (not integratable with scheduler! fix this!)
53 - synchronous/asynchronous API (& implementation) is not nice
54 - does not seem to work with timeouts (especially if service is not running)
56 - need to get rid of synchronous API for service starts (cause all kinds of problems)
57 [=> eliminate for need to tell ARM about service starts most of the time!]
59 - need function to test "equivalency" of HELLOs; use in topology!
61 - outbound message monitoring not supported
62 * Module features to implement:
63 - advanced FS API parts
64 + namespaces: fundamental namespace API
65 + search: SBlocks, KSBlocks, probes, notify FS-service of known results
67 + location URIs (publish, search, download)
68 + persistence support (publish, unindex, search, download)
69 + indexing: index-failure-cleanup
70 + download: management/bounding of parallel downloads (for recursive dl.)
71 + datastore reservation (publishing)
72 + gnunet-publish (URI args)
73 + gnunet-download (directory)
74 + gnunet-search (options, incl. namespace search)
75 + gnunet-download (many options)
76 + gnunet-directory (man page, options)
77 + gnunet-pseudonym (all of it)
78 + gnunet-service-fs (remove failing on-demand blocks, many other nitpicks/features/optimizations)
79 + datastore: do active migration support here?
80 - implement adv. FS testcases
82 + insert: sblocks, loc uris
84 + search: sblocks, skblocks, loc uris
87 - implement FS performance tests (needs TESTING)
92 - non-anonymous FS service (needs DHT)
93 + basic DHT integration
94 + CS-DHT-functions (DHT-put of LOC)
95 + P2P-functions (DHT-get)
98 + need to settle basic design; do we want to keep guile?
100 + modify configuration to allow controlling connections for non-local starts
101 + testbed creation with topology (needs working F2F topology) [Nate]
102 + testbed with churn [Nate]
103 + implement library for distributed testing [Nate]
104 + implement testcases for distributed testing [Nate]
105 + test basic peer re-configure [Nate]
106 + test topology creation [Nate]
107 + 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
