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 - considers peers 'connected' well before they actually are
17 (since core notifies about it too early?)
20 - test fails (looks like it works, but that's because of a bad
21 connectivity notification; somehow core is unable to send
22 messages successfully via transport)
24 - soliciting traffic for clients that registered for it is not implemented
25 (in the service, client API supports GNUNET_MESSAGE_TYPE_CORE_SOLICIT_TRAFFIC
26 but never receives any such messages); how to avoid busy-waiting here
27 is a good question (solicit => nothing, when to solicit again???)
28 * FS (basic anonymous FS only)
29 - implement FS service (P2P operations)
30 + how to send queries (soliciting is not there in core; do we
31 also want to do pushing sometimes?)
32 + need to bound queueing of replies for other peers
33 - test multi-peer search/download
35 - run peer => have a 0.9.x hostlist
36 - improve basic documentation (configure, dependencies, what works, etc.)
37 - write minimal welcome/introduction to 0.9.x-development/webpage/status
38 => Deploy(able) development network
43 - load: need way to determine network load (up/down)
44 - trust: need *fast* way to check/update trust in peers
45 (async peerinfo would not be right)
46 - OS: existing waitpid call is not nice (not integratable with scheduler! fix this!)
48 - synchronous/asynchronous API (& implementation) is not nice
49 - does not seem to work with timeouts (especially if service is not running)
51 - need to get rid of synchronous API for service starts (cause all kinds of problems)
52 [=> eliminate for need to tell ARM about service starts most of the time!]
53 * Module features to implement:
54 - advanced FS API parts
55 + namespaces: fundamental namespace API
56 + search: SBlocks, KSBlocks, probes, notify FS-service of known results
58 + location URIs (publish, search, download)
59 + persistence support (publish, unindex, search, download)
60 + indexing: index-failure-cleanup
61 + download: management/bounding of parallel downloads (for recursive dl.)
62 + datastore reservation (publishing)
63 + gnunet-publish (URI args)
64 + gnunet-download (directory)
65 + gnunet-search (options, incl. namespace search)
66 + gnunet-download (many options)
67 + gnunet-directory (man page, options)
68 + gnunet-pseudonym (all of it)
69 + gnunet-service-fs (remove failing on-demand blocks, many other nitpicks/features/optimizations)
70 + datastore: do active migration support here?
71 - implement adv. FS testcases
73 + insert: sblocks, loc uris
75 + search: sblocks, skblocks, loc uris
78 - implement FS performance tests (needs TESTING)
83 - non-anonymous FS service (needs DHT)
84 + basic DHT integration
85 + CS-DHT-functions (DHT-put of LOC)
86 + P2P-functions (DHT-get)
89 + need to settle basic design; do we want to keep guile?
91 + modify configuration to allow controlling connections for non-local starts
92 + testbed creation with topology (needs working F2F topology) [Nate]
93 + testbed with churn [Nate]
94 + implement library for distributed testing [Nate]
95 + implement testcases for distributed testing [Nate]
96 + test basic peer re-configure [Nate]
97 + test topology creation [Nate]
98 + test churn generation [Nate]
101 * Module features to implement:
103 + good to have for DV evaluation!
106 + implement DV service [Nate & CG]
107 + implement DV library [Nate]
108 + implement DV transport plugin [Nate & CG]
109 + implement testcases [Nate]
110 + implement performance tests [Nate]
113 + how to integrate scheduler with GTK event loop!
116 * Module features to implement:
118 + good to have for DV/DHT evaluation!
120 + implement DHT service (needs DV, DATACACHE)
121 + implement DHT library
122 + implement testcases
123 + implement performance tests
126 * Plugins to implement:
127 - UDP backend (RC-pre2)
128 + Fragmentation library
130 - HTTP backend (RC-pre2)
135 + see discussions @ FISL about integration with event loop!
136 * Determine RC bugs and fix those!
141 - update webpage documentation
143 - expand bibliography
144 - convert documentation pages to books
145 - update books (especially for developers)
146 - create good Drupal theme for GNUnet
147 - make a NICE download page and figure out how to
148 enable developers to publish TGZs nicely
149 - port "contact" page
150 - add content type for "todo" items?
152 * Plugins to implement:
153 - MySQL database backends
156 - Postgres database backends
160 * Determine RC bugs and fix those!
164 * Plugins to implement:
165 - SMTP transport backend
166 - HTTPS transport backend
167 + improved HTTPS support in MHD
169 * Remove KBlocks in gnunet-unindex (see discussion with Kenneth Almquist on gnunet-devs in 9/2009)
170 * Allow checking of presence of search results and/or content via command-line tools
171 (add options to gnunet-search / gnunet-download to limit search to local peer)
173 - should use BIO instead of mmap
