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 (P2P operations)
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
25 - soliciting traffic for clients that registered for it is not implemented
26 (in the service, client API supports GNUNET_MESSAGE_TYPE_CORE_SOLICIT_TRAFFIC
27 but never receives any such messages); how to avoid busy-waiting here
28 is a good question (solicit => nothing, when to solicit again???)
29 * TESTING (needed for DV, DHT, Topology)
30 - implement library for local testing
31 + modify configuration to allow controlling connections for non-local starts
32 + CORE service does not start with valid peer ID (all zeros) -- testcase fails!
33 + consider changing API for peer-group termination to call continuation when done
34 - implement testcases for library
35 + get test for basic peer start to work!
36 + test basic peer connect
39 - topology (needs TESTING)
40 - hostlist (maybe easier with TESTING?)
44 - run peer => have a 0.9.x hostlist
45 - improve basic documentation (configure, dependencies, what works, etc.)
46 - write minimal welcome/introduction to 0.9.x-development/webpage/status
47 => Deploy(able) development network
52 - heap: "remove_node" can hardly be O(1) given the API, but it should be (!)
53 - load: need way to determine network load (up/down)
54 - trust: need *fast* way to check/update trust in peers
55 (async peerinfo would not be right)
56 * Module features to implement:
57 - advanced FS API parts
58 + namespaces: fundamental namespace API
59 + search: SBlocks, KSBlocks, probes, notify FS-service of known results
61 + location URIs (publish, search, download)
62 + persistence support (publish, unindex, search, download)
63 + indexing: index-failure-cleanup
64 + download: management/bounding of parallel downloads (for recursive dl.)
65 + datastore reservation (publishing)
66 + gnunet-publish (URI args)
67 + gnunet-download (directory)
68 + gnunet-search (options, incl. namespace search)
69 + gnunet-download (many options)
70 + gnunet-directory (man page, options)
71 + gnunet-pseudonym (all of it)
72 + gnunet-service-fs (remove failing on-demand blocks, many other nitpicks/features/optimizations)
73 + datastore: do active migration support here?
74 - implement adv. FS testcases
76 + insert: sblocks, loc uris
78 + search: sblocks, skblocks, loc uris
81 - implement FS performance tests (needs TESTING)
86 - non-anonymous FS service (needs DHT)
87 + basic DHT integration
88 + CS-DHT-functions (DHT-put of LOC)
89 + P2P-functions (DHT-get)
92 + need to settle basic design; do we want to keep guile?
94 + testbed creation with topology (needs working F2F topology) [Nate]
95 + testbed with churn [Nate]
96 + implement library for distributed testing [Nate]
97 + implement testcases for distributed testing [Nate]
98 + test basic peer re-configure [Nate]
99 + test topology creation [Nate]
100 + test churn generation [Nate]
103 * Module features to implement:
105 + good to have for DV evaluation!
108 + implement DV service [Nate & CG]
109 + implement DV library [Nate]
110 + implement DV transport plugin [Nate & CG]
111 + implement testcases [Nate]
112 + implement performance tests [Nate]
115 + how to integrate scheduler with GTK event loop!
118 * Module features to implement:
120 + good to have for DV/DHT evaluation!
122 + implement DHT service (needs DV, DATACACHE)
123 + implement DHT library
124 + implement testcases
125 + implement performance tests
128 * Plugins to implement:
129 - UDP backend (RC-pre2)
130 + Fragmentation library
132 - HTTP backend (RC-pre2)
137 + see discussions @ FISL about integration with event loop!
138 * Determine RC bugs and fix those!
143 - update webpage documentation
145 - expand bibliography
146 - convert documentation pages to books
147 - update books (especially for developers)
148 - create good Drupal theme for GNUnet
149 - make a NICE download page and figure out how to
150 enable developers to publish TGZs nicely
151 - port "contact" page; add impressum
152 - add content type for "todo" items?
154 * Plugins to implement:
155 - MySQL database backends
158 - Postgres database backends
162 * Determine RC bugs and fix those!
166 * Plugins to implement:
167 - SMTP transport backend
168 - HTTPS transport backend
169 + improved HTTPS support in MHD
171 * Remove KBlocks in gnunet-unindex (see discussion with Kenneth Almquist on gnunet-devs in 9/2009)
172 * Allow checking of presence of search results and/or content via command-line tools
173 (add options to gnunet-search / gnunet-download to limit search to local peer)
175 - should use BIO instead of mmap
