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:
5 * FS (DHT not available)
7 * DV (distributed testing not available)
8 * TBENCH (distributed testing not available)
9 * TRACEKIT (distributed testing not available)
12 * MySQL / Postgres plugins (datastore, datacache)
15 Urgent items (before announcing ng.gnunet.org):
16 * FS (basic anonymous FS only)
17 - implement FS service
18 + how to send queries (soliciting is not there in core; do we
19 also want to do pushing sometimes?)
20 + need to bound queueing of replies for other peers
26 ~ publish (insert, index)
32 - soliciting traffic for clients that registered for it is not implemented
33 (in the service, client API supports GNUNET_MESSAGE_TYPE_CORE_SOLICIT_TRAFFIC
34 but never receives any such messages); how to avoid busy-waiting here
35 is a good question (solicit => nothing, when to solicit again???)
36 * TESTING (needed for DV, DHT, Topology)
37 - implement library for local testing
38 + modify configuration to allow controlling connections for non-local starts
39 + CORE service does not start with valid peer ID (all zeros) -- testcase fails!
40 + consider changing API for peer-group termination to call continuation when done
41 - implement testcases for library
42 + get test for basic peer start to work!
43 + test basic peer connect
46 - topology (needs TESTING)
47 - hostlist (maybe easier with TESTING?)
51 - run peer => have a 0.9.x hostlist
52 - improve basic documentation (configure, dependencies, what works, etc.)
53 - write minimal welcome/introduction to 0.9.x-development/webpage/status
54 => Deploy(able) development network
59 - heap: "remove_node" can hardly be O(1) given the API, but it should be (!)
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 * Module features to implement:
64 - advanced FS API parts
65 + namespaces: fundamental namespace API
66 + search: SBlocks, KSBlocks, probes, notify FS-service of known results
68 + location URIs (publish, search, download)
69 + persistence support (publish, unindex, search, download)
70 + indexing: index-failure-cleanup
71 + download: management/bounding of parallel downloads (for recursive dl.)
72 + datastore reservation (publishing)
73 + gnunet-publish (URI args)
74 + gnunet-download (directory)
75 + gnunet-search (options, incl. namespace search)
76 + gnunet-download (many options)
77 + gnunet-directory (man page, options)
78 + gnunet-pseudonym (all of it)
79 + gnunet-service-fs (remove failing on-demand blocks, many other nitpicks/features/optimizations)
80 + datastore: do active migration support here?
81 - implement adv. FS testcases
82 + insert: sblocks, loc uris
84 + search: sblocks, skblocks, loc uris
87 - implement FS performance tests (needs TESTING)
92 - non-anonymous FS service (needs DHT)
93 + basic DHT integration
94 + CS-DHT-functions (DHT-put of LOC)
95 + P2P-functions (DHT-get)
98 + need to settle basic design; do we want to keep guile?
100 + testbed creation with topology (needs working F2F topology) [Nate]
101 + testbed with churn [Nate]
102 + implement library for distributed testing [Nate]
103 + implement testcases for distributed testing [Nate]
104 + test basic peer re-configure [Nate]
105 + test topology creation [Nate]
106 + test churn generation [Nate]
109 * Module features to implement:
111 + good to have for DV evaluation!
114 + implement DV service [Nate & CG]
115 + implement DV library [Nate]
116 + implement DV transport plugin [Nate & CG]
117 + implement testcases [Nate]
118 + implement performance tests [Nate]
121 + how to integrate scheduler with GTK event loop!
124 * Module features to implement:
126 + good to have for DV/DHT evaluation!
128 + implement DHT service (needs DV, DATACACHE)
129 + implement DHT library
130 + implement testcases
131 + implement performance tests
134 * Plugins to implement:
135 - UDP backend (RC-pre2)
136 + Fragmentation library
138 - HTTP backend (RC-pre2)
143 + see discussions @ FISL about integration with event loop!
144 * Determine RC bugs and fix those!
149 - update webpage documentation
151 - expand bibliography
152 - convert documentation pages to books
153 - update books (especially for developers)
154 - create good Drupal theme for GNUnet
155 - make a NICE download page and figure out how to
156 enable developers to publish TGZs nicely
157 - port "contact" page; add impressum
158 - add content type for "todo" items?
160 * Plugins to implement:
161 - MySQL database backends
164 - Postgres database backends
168 * Determine RC bugs and fix those!
172 * Plugins to implement:
173 - SMTP transport backend
174 - HTTPS transport backend
175 + improved HTTPS support in MHD
177 * Remove KBlocks in gnunet-unindex (see discussion with Kenneth Almquist on gnunet-devs in 9/2009)
178 * Allow checking of presence of search results and/or content via command-line tools
179 (add options to gnunet-search / gnunet-download to limit search to local peer)
