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):

34 - considers peers 'connected' well before they actually are
35 (since core notifies about it too early?);
36 - (forced) disconnect does not work (also CORE API issue)
37 - needs testing (not sure the current testcase does much...)
39 - test fails (looks like it works, but that's because of a bad
40 connectivity notification; somehow core is unable to send
41 messages successfully via transport)
43 - core notifies about connects "too early" (when we have not yet
44 succeeded with the full key exchange) [see also: BUGS]
45 * FS (basic anonymous FS only)
46 - implement FS service (P2P operations)
47 + how to send queries (soliciting is not there in core; do we
48 also want to do pushing sometimes?)
49 + need to bound queueing of replies for other peers
50 - test multi-peer search/download
52 - run peer => have a 0.9.x hostlist
53 - improve basic documentation (configure, dependencies, what works, etc.)
54 - write minimal welcome/introduction to 0.9.x-development/webpage/status
55 => Deploy(able) development network
60 - load: need way to determine network load (up/down)
61 - trust: need *fast* way to check/update trust in peers
62 (async peerinfo would not be right)
63 - OS: existing waitpid call is not nice (not integratable with scheduler! fix this!)
65 - synchronous/asynchronous API (& implementation) is not nice
66 - does not seem to work with timeouts (especially if service is not running)
68 - need to get rid of synchronous API for service starts (cause all kinds of problems)
69 [=> eliminate for need to tell ARM about service starts most of the time!]
71 - need function to test "equivalency" of HELLOs; use in topology!
72 * Module features to implement:
73 - advanced FS API parts
74 + namespaces: fundamental namespace API
75 + search: SBlocks, KSBlocks, probes, notify FS-service of known results
77 + location URIs (publish, search, download)
78 + persistence support (publish, unindex, search, download)
79 + indexing: index-failure-cleanup
80 + download: management/bounding of parallel downloads (for recursive dl.)
81 + datastore reservation (publishing)
82 + gnunet-publish (URI args)
83 + gnunet-download (directory)
84 + gnunet-search (options, incl. namespace search)
85 + gnunet-download (many options)
86 + gnunet-directory (man page, options)
87 + gnunet-pseudonym (all of it)
88 + gnunet-service-fs (remove failing on-demand blocks, many other nitpicks/features/optimizations)
89 + datastore: do active migration support here?
90 - implement adv. FS testcases
92 + insert: sblocks, loc uris
94 + search: sblocks, skblocks, loc uris
97 - implement FS performance tests (needs TESTING)
102 - non-anonymous FS service (needs DHT)
103 + basic DHT integration
104 + CS-DHT-functions (DHT-put of LOC)
105 + P2P-functions (DHT-get)
108 + need to settle basic design; do we want to keep guile?
110 + modify configuration to allow controlling connections for non-local starts
111 + testbed creation with topology (needs working F2F topology) [Nate]
112 + testbed with churn [Nate]
113 + implement library for distributed testing [Nate]
114 + implement testcases for distributed testing [Nate]
115 + test basic peer re-configure [Nate]
116 + test topology creation [Nate]
117 + test churn generation [Nate]
120 * Module features to implement:
122 + good to have for DV evaluation!
125 + implement DV service [Nate & CG]
126 + implement DV library [Nate]
127 + implement DV transport plugin [Nate & CG]
128 + implement testcases [Nate]
129 + implement performance tests [Nate]
132 + how to integrate scheduler with GTK event loop!
135 * Module features to implement:
137 + good to have for DV/DHT evaluation!
139 + implement DHT service (needs DV, DATACACHE)
140 + implement DHT library
141 + implement testcases
142 + implement performance tests
145 * Plugins to implement:
146 - UDP backend (RC-pre2)
147 + Fragmentation library
149 - HTTP backend (RC-pre2)
154 + see discussions @ FISL about integration with event loop!
155 * Determine RC bugs and fix those!
160 - update webpage documentation
162 - expand bibliography
163 - convert documentation pages to books
164 - update books (especially for developers)
165 - create good Drupal theme for GNUnet
166 - make a NICE download page and figure out how to
167 enable developers to publish TGZs nicely
168 - port "contact" page
169 - add content type for "todo" items?
171 * Plugins to implement:
172 - MySQL database backends
175 - Postgres database backends
179 * Determine RC bugs and fix those!
183 * Plugins to implement:
184 - SMTP transport backend
185 - HTTPS transport backend
186 + improved HTTPS support in MHD
188 * Remove KBlocks in gnunet-unindex (see discussion with Kenneth Almquist on gnunet-devs in 9/2009)
189 * Allow checking of presence of search results and/or content via command-line tools
190 (add options to gnunet-search / gnunet-download to limit search to local peer)
192 - should use BIO instead of mmap
