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