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