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)
15 Urgent items (before announcing ng.gnunet.org):
22 * FS (basic anonymous FS only)
23 - test multi-peer search/download
25 - run peer => have a 0.9.x hostlist
26 - improve basic documentation (configure, dependencies, what works, etc.)
27 - write minimal welcome/introduction to 0.9.x-development/webpage/status
28 => Deploy(able) development network
33 - load: need way to determine network load (up/down)
34 - trust: need *fast* way to check/update trust in peers
35 (async peerinfo would not be right)
36 - OS: existing waitpid call is not nice (not integratable with scheduler! fix this!)
37 => should 'scheduler' support SIGCHILD explicitly? Always?
39 - disconnect notifications from TCP not always as nice as we might want
40 them to be (but how can we do this cleanly given that UDP is connectionless?)
41 - TCP not used bi-directionally (especially important also for PONG!)
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 - need to get rid of synchronous API for service starts (cause all kinds of problems)
48 [=> eliminate for need to tell ARM about service starts most of the time!] [Safey]
50 - need function to test "equivalency" of HELLOs; use in topology!
51 * Module features to implement:
52 - advanced FS API parts
53 + namespaces: fundamental namespace API
54 + search: SBlocks, KSBlocks, probes, notify FS-service of known results
56 + location URIs (publish, search, download)
57 + persistence support (publish, unindex, search, download)
58 + indexing: index-failure-cleanup
59 + download: management/bounding of parallel downloads (for recursive dl.)
60 + datastore reservation (publishing)
61 + gnunet-publish (URI args)
62 + gnunet-download (directory)
63 + gnunet-search (options, incl. namespace search)
64 + gnunet-download (many options)
65 + gnunet-directory (man page, options)
66 + gnunet-pseudonym (all of it)
67 + gnunet-service-fs (remove failing on-demand blocks, stats, hot-path routing, load-based routing, nitpicks)
68 + datastore: do active migration support here?
69 - implement adv. FS testcases
71 + insert: sblocks, loc uris
73 + search: sblocks, skblocks, loc uris
76 - implement FS performance tests (needs TESTING)
81 - non-anonymous FS service (needs DHT)
82 + basic DHT integration
83 + CS-DHT-functions (DHT-put of LOC)
84 + P2P-functions (DHT-get)
87 + need to settle basic design; do we want to keep guile?
89 + modify configuration to allow controlling connections for non-local starts
90 + testbed creation with topology (needs working F2F topology) [Nate]
91 + testbed with churn [Nate]
92 + implement library for distributed testing [Nate]
93 + implement testcases for distributed testing [Nate]
94 + test basic peer re-configure [Nate]
95 + test topology creation [Nate]
96 + test churn generation [Nate]
99 * Module features to implement:
101 + good to have for DV evaluation!
104 + implement DV service [Nate & CG]
105 + implement DV library [Nate]
106 + implement DV transport plugin [Nate & CG]
107 + implement testcases [Nate]
108 + implement performance tests [Nate]
111 + how to integrate scheduler with GTK event loop!
114 * Module features to implement:
116 + good to have for DV/DHT evaluation!
118 + implement DHT service (needs DV, DATACACHE)
119 + implement DHT library
120 + implement testcases
121 + implement performance tests
124 * Plugins to implement:
125 - UDP backend (RC-pre2)
126 + Fragmentation library
128 - HTTP backend (RC-pre2)
133 + see discussions @ FISL about integration with event loop!
134 * Determine RC bugs and fix those!
139 - update webpage documentation
141 - expand bibliography
142 - convert documentation pages to books
143 - update books (especially for developers)
144 - create good Drupal theme for GNUnet
145 - make a NICE download page and figure out how to
146 enable developers to publish TGZs nicely
147 - port "contact" page
148 - add content type for "todo" items?
150 * Plugins to implement:
151 - MySQL database backends
154 - Postgres database backends
158 * Determine RC bugs and fix those!
162 * Plugins to implement:
163 - SMTP transport backend
164 - HTTPS transport backend
165 + improved HTTPS support in MHD
167 * Remove KBlocks in gnunet-unindex (see discussion with Kenneth Almquist on gnunet-devs in 9/2009)
168 * Allow checking of presence of search results and/or content via command-line tools
169 (add options to gnunet-search / gnunet-download to limit search to local peer)
171 - should use BIO instead of mmap
173 - expire 'ancient' HELLOs (those without valid addresses AND that
174 we have not 'used' (for their public keys) in a while; need a way
175 to track actual 'use')
176 - make sue we also trigger notifications whenever HELLOs expire
