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 - test currently fails spectacularly
17 - request disconnect not implemented (needs better transport API)
19 - (forced) disconnect does not work (also CORE API issue)
20 - needs testing (not sure the current testcase does much...)
22 - test fails (looks like it works, but that's because of a bad
23 connectivity notification; somehow core is unable to send
24 messages successfully via transport)
25 * FS (basic anonymous FS only)
26 - implement FS service (P2P operations)
27 + how to send queries (soliciting is not there in core; do we
28 also want to do pushing sometimes?)
29 + need to bound queueing of replies for other peers
30 - test multi-peer search/download
32 - run peer => have a 0.9.x hostlist
33 - improve basic documentation (configure, dependencies, what works, etc.)
34 - write minimal welcome/introduction to 0.9.x-development/webpage/status
35 => Deploy(able) development network
40 - load: need way to determine network load (up/down)
41 - trust: need *fast* way to check/update trust in peers
42 (async peerinfo would not be right)
43 - OS: existing waitpid call is not nice (not integratable with scheduler! fix this!)
45 - synchronous/asynchronous API (& implementation) is not nice
46 - does not seem to work with timeouts (especially if service is not running)
48 - need to get rid of synchronous API for service starts (cause all kinds of problems)
49 [=> eliminate for need to tell ARM about service starts most of the time!]
51 - need function to test "equivalency" of HELLOs; use in topology!
53 - outbound message monitoring not supported
54 * Module features to implement:
55 - advanced FS API parts
56 + namespaces: fundamental namespace API
57 + search: SBlocks, KSBlocks, probes, notify FS-service of known results
59 + location URIs (publish, search, download)
60 + persistence support (publish, unindex, search, download)
61 + indexing: index-failure-cleanup
62 + download: management/bounding of parallel downloads (for recursive dl.)
63 + datastore reservation (publishing)
64 + gnunet-publish (URI args)
65 + gnunet-download (directory)
66 + gnunet-search (options, incl. namespace search)
67 + gnunet-download (many options)
68 + gnunet-directory (man page, options)
69 + gnunet-pseudonym (all of it)
70 + gnunet-service-fs (remove failing on-demand blocks, many other nitpicks/features/optimizations)
71 + datastore: do active migration support here?
72 - implement adv. FS testcases
74 + insert: sblocks, loc uris
76 + search: sblocks, skblocks, loc uris
79 - implement FS performance tests (needs TESTING)
84 - non-anonymous FS service (needs DHT)
85 + basic DHT integration
86 + CS-DHT-functions (DHT-put of LOC)
87 + P2P-functions (DHT-get)
90 + need to settle basic design; do we want to keep guile?
92 + modify configuration to allow controlling connections for non-local starts
93 + testbed creation with topology (needs working F2F topology) [Nate]
94 + testbed with churn [Nate]
95 + implement library for distributed testing [Nate]
96 + implement testcases for distributed testing [Nate]
97 + test basic peer re-configure [Nate]
98 + test topology creation [Nate]
99 + test churn generation [Nate]
102 * Module features to implement:
104 + good to have for DV evaluation!
107 + implement DV service [Nate & CG]
108 + implement DV library [Nate]
109 + implement DV transport plugin [Nate & CG]
110 + implement testcases [Nate]
111 + implement performance tests [Nate]
114 + how to integrate scheduler with GTK event loop!
117 * Module features to implement:
119 + good to have for DV/DHT evaluation!
121 + implement DHT service (needs DV, DATACACHE)
122 + implement DHT library
123 + implement testcases
124 + implement performance tests
127 * Plugins to implement:
128 - UDP backend (RC-pre2)
129 + Fragmentation library
131 - HTTP backend (RC-pre2)
136 + see discussions @ FISL about integration with event loop!
137 * Determine RC bugs and fix those!
142 - update webpage documentation
144 - expand bibliography
145 - convert documentation pages to books
146 - update books (especially for developers)
147 - create good Drupal theme for GNUnet
148 - make a NICE download page and figure out how to
149 enable developers to publish TGZs nicely
150 - port "contact" page
151 - add content type for "todo" items?
153 * Plugins to implement:
154 - MySQL database backends
157 - Postgres database backends
161 * Determine RC bugs and fix those!
165 * Plugins to implement:
166 - SMTP transport backend
167 - HTTPS transport backend
168 + improved HTTPS support in MHD
170 * Remove KBlocks in gnunet-unindex (see discussion with Kenneth Almquist on gnunet-devs in 9/2009)
171 * Allow checking of presence of search results and/or content via command-line tools
172 (add options to gnunet-search / gnunet-download to limit search to local peer)
174 - should use BIO instead of mmap
