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)
16 * HOSTLIST/PEERINFO/CORE/TRANSPORT/TOPOLOGY:
17 - hostlist server learns about 2nd peer, but soon forgets!
18 - peers do not seem to connect (at least not for long!)
19 - urgently need statistics!
21 - load: need way to determine network load (up/down)
22 - trust: need *fast* way to check/update trust in peers
23 (async peerinfo would not be right)
25 - disconnect notifications from TCP not always as nice as we might want
26 them to be (but how can we do this cleanly given that UDP is connectionless?)
27 - TCP not used bi-directionally (especially important also for PONG!)
28 - hostlist testcase shows that (randomly) we jump to an address that
29 seems to be a plugin function *after* the plugin has been unloaded
30 (directly from scheduler); check that *all* plugin tasks are cancelled
31 after plugin is unloaded! (need better testcases for that...)
33 - synchronous/asynchronous API (& implementation) is not nice;
34 => provide notification-based API
35 - does not seem to work with timeouts (especially if service is not running)
37 - need to get rid of synchronous API for service starts (cause all kinds of problems)
38 [=> eliminate for need to tell ARM about service starts most of the time!] [Safey]
40 - need function to test "equivalency" of HELLOs; use in topology!
42 - needs more testing (especially F2F topology)
46 - gnunet-publish cannot be aborted using CTRL-C
47 - gnunet-publish segfaults if file does not exist
48 - on some systems, keyword search does not find locally published content
49 (need testcase of command-line tools!)
50 - 2-peer download is still too slow (why?)
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]
102 * Module features to implement:
104 + good to have for DV evaluation!
107 + implement DV service [Nate & CG]
108 + implement DV library [Nate]
109 + implement DV transport plugin [Nate & CG]
110 + implement testcases [Nate]
111 + implement performance tests [Nate]
114 + how to integrate scheduler with GTK event loop!
117 * Module features to implement:
119 + good to have for DV/DHT evaluation!
121 + implement DHT service (needs DV, DATACACHE)
122 + implement DHT library
123 + implement testcases
124 + implement performance tests
127 * Plugins to implement:
128 - UDP backend (RC-pre2)
129 + Fragmentation library
131 - HTTP backend (RC-pre2)
136 + see discussions @ FISL about integration with event loop!
137 * Determine RC bugs and fix those!
142 - update webpage documentation
144 - expand bibliography
145 - convert documentation pages to books
146 - update books (especially for developers)
147 - create good Drupal theme for GNUnet
148 - make a NICE download page and figure out how to
149 enable developers to publish TGZs nicely
150 - port "contact" page
151 - add content type for "todo" items?
153 * Plugins to implement:
154 - MySQL database backends
157 - Postgres database backends
161 * Determine RC bugs and fix those!
165 * Plugins to implement:
166 - SMTP transport backend
167 - HTTPS transport backend
168 + improved HTTPS support in MHD
170 * Remove KBlocks in gnunet-unindex (see discussion with Kenneth Almquist on gnunet-devs in 9/2009)
171 * Allow checking of presence of search results and/or content via command-line tools
172 (add options to gnunet-search / gnunet-download to limit search to local peer)
174 - should use BIO instead of mmap
176 - expire 'ancient' HELLOs (those without valid addresses AND that
177 we have not 'used' (for their public keys) in a while; need a way
178 to track actual 'use')
179 - make sue we also trigger notifications whenever HELLOs expire
