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 - provide higher-level convenience API for servers/services that
17 need to send a stream of notifications to clients; instead
18 of having each service queue messages and "send when ready",
19 simply have a way to add a client to the notification set
20 and to 'notify client' or 'notify all clients'
21 (useful for peerinfo (new hellos), transport (our hello; blacklist),
22 core (misc monitoring features), statistics (change notifications)
24 - server/service API change for ARM inetd'ing
25 (listen as well as support for start with multiple, already
26 bound & listening sockets!)
28 - main service not implemented [Nate]
29 - blacklist not implemented [Christian]
30 - testcases crash & burn (no surprise)
32 - request disconnect not implemented [Christian]
33 - various notification options not implemented [Christian]
34 - test currently fails spectacularly [segv of transport service]
35 => need transport to work first!
36 - request connect not working [Christian, need transport first]
38 - make sue we also trigger notifications whenever HELLOs expire
40 - needs testing [need transport first]
42 - check that 'GNUNET_TRANSPORT_get_hello' is associated with
43 a cancel request wherever appropriate (other testcases
44 in particular!) [Christian]
46 - test fails (looks like it works, but that's because of a bad
47 connectivity notification; somehow core is unable to send
48 messages successfully via transport) [need transport first]
49 * FS (basic anonymous FS only)
50 - implement FS service (P2P operations)
51 + how to send queries (soliciting is not there in core; do we
52 also want to do pushing sometimes?)
53 + need to bound queueing of replies for other peers
54 - test multi-peer search/download
56 - run peer => have a 0.9.x hostlist
57 - improve basic documentation (configure, dependencies, what works, etc.)
58 - write minimal welcome/introduction to 0.9.x-development/webpage/status
59 => Deploy(able) development network
64 - load: need way to determine network load (up/down)
65 - trust: need *fast* way to check/update trust in peers
66 (async peerinfo would not be right)
67 - OS: existing waitpid call is not nice (not integratable with scheduler! fix this!)
69 - synchronous/asynchronous API (& implementation) is not nice
70 - does not seem to work with timeouts (especially if service is not running)
72 - need to get rid of synchronous API for service starts (cause all kinds of problems)
73 [=> eliminate for need to tell ARM about service starts most of the time!]
75 - need function to test "equivalency" of HELLOs; use in topology!
77 - outbound message monitoring not supported
78 * Module features to implement:
79 - advanced FS API parts
80 + namespaces: fundamental namespace API
81 + search: SBlocks, KSBlocks, probes, notify FS-service of known results
83 + location URIs (publish, search, download)
84 + persistence support (publish, unindex, search, download)
85 + indexing: index-failure-cleanup
86 + download: management/bounding of parallel downloads (for recursive dl.)
87 + datastore reservation (publishing)
88 + gnunet-publish (URI args)
89 + gnunet-download (directory)
90 + gnunet-search (options, incl. namespace search)
91 + gnunet-download (many options)
92 + gnunet-directory (man page, options)
93 + gnunet-pseudonym (all of it)
94 + gnunet-service-fs (remove failing on-demand blocks, many other nitpicks/features/optimizations)
95 + datastore: do active migration support here?
96 - implement adv. FS testcases
98 + insert: sblocks, loc uris
100 + search: sblocks, skblocks, loc uris
103 - implement FS performance tests (needs TESTING)
108 - non-anonymous FS service (needs DHT)
109 + basic DHT integration
110 + CS-DHT-functions (DHT-put of LOC)
111 + P2P-functions (DHT-get)
114 + need to settle basic design; do we want to keep guile?
116 + modify configuration to allow controlling connections for non-local starts
117 + testbed creation with topology (needs working F2F topology) [Nate]
118 + testbed with churn [Nate]
119 + implement library for distributed testing [Nate]
120 + implement testcases for distributed testing [Nate]
121 + test basic peer re-configure [Nate]
122 + test topology creation [Nate]
123 + test churn generation [Nate]
126 * Module features to implement:
128 + good to have for DV evaluation!
131 + implement DV service [Nate & CG]
132 + implement DV library [Nate]
133 + implement DV transport plugin [Nate & CG]
134 + implement testcases [Nate]
135 + implement performance tests [Nate]
138 + how to integrate scheduler with GTK event loop!

143 + good to have for DV/DHT evaluation!
145 + implement DHT service (needs DV, DATACACHE)
146 + implement DHT library

148 + implement performance tests
151 * Plugins to implement:
152 - UDP backend (RC-pre2)
153 + Fragmentation library

168 - expand bibliography
169 - convert documentation pages to books
170 - update books (especially for developers)
171 - create good Drupal theme for GNUnet
172 - make a NICE download page and figure out how to
173 enable developers to publish TGZs nicely
174 - port "contact" page
175 - add content type for "todo" items?
177 * Plugins to implement:

185 * Determine RC bugs and fix those!
189 * Plugins to implement:
190 - SMTP transport backend

194 * Remove KBlocks in gnunet-unindex (see discussion with Kenneth Almquist on gnunet-devs in 9/2009)
195 * Allow checking of presence of search results and/or content via command-line tools
196 (add options to gnunet-search / gnunet-download to limit search to local peer)
198 - should use BIO instead of mmap
