Implementable right now (but not necessarily important), with caveats
(unavailable components that will limit what can be implemented right
away), in order in which they will likely be done:
-* TESTING
-* FS (DHT not available)
+* TESTING-TESTBED [Nate]
* SETUP
-* DV (distributed testing not available)
-* TBENCH (distributed testing not available)
-* TRACEKIT (distributed testing not available)
+* DV [Nate]
+* TBENCH
+* TRACEKIT
+* FRAGMENTATION [Ji Lu]
* HTTP transport
-* FRAGMENTATION
* MySQL / Postgres plugins (datastore, datacache)
-* UPNP
+* UPNP [Milan]
+* ARM [Safey]
Urgent items (before announcing ng.gnunet.org):
+* TRANSPORT:
+ - nondeterministic transport testcase failures [Nate]
+* CORE:
+ - test currently fails
+ - request connect not working [Christian, need transport first]
+* TOPOLOGY:
+ - needs testing [need transport first]
+* HOSTLIST:
+ - needs testing [need transport first]
* FS (basic anonymous FS only)
- - need way to determine network load (up/down)
- - need *fast* way to check/update trust in peers
- (async peerinfo would not be right)
- - implement FS service
- + P2P-functions (query, response, peer-disconnect)
- + CS/P2P-functions (initiate P2P, handle P2P->CS)
- - implement testcases
- + URI API
- + getopt API
- + sharing API
- ~ file-information
- ~ publish (insert, index)
- ~ download
- ~ search
- ~ unindex
- + directory API
-* TESTING (needed for DV, DHT, Topology)
- - implement library for local testing
- + modify configuration to allow controlling connections for non-local starts
- + CORE service does not start with valid peer ID (all zeros) -- testcase fails!
- + consider changing API for peer-group termination to call continuation when done
- - implement testcases for library
- + get test for basic peer start to work!
- + test basic peer connect
- + test group start
-* TEST:
- - topology (needs TESTING)
- - hostlist (maybe easier with TESTING?)
+ - test multi-peer search/download [needs core first]
* new webpage
- - prevent?
- - migrate Mantis!?
- run peer => have a 0.9.x hostlist
- improve basic documentation (configure, dependencies, what works, etc.)
- write minimal welcome/introduction to 0.9.x-development/webpage/status
0.9.0pre0:
+* UTIL:
+ - load: need way to determine network load (up/down)
+ - trust: need *fast* way to check/update trust in peers
+ (async peerinfo would not be right)
+ - OS: existing waitpid call is not nice (not integratable with scheduler! fix this!)
+ => should 'scheduler' support SIGCHILD explicitly? Always?
+* STATISTICS:
+ - synchronous/asynchronous API (& implementation) is not nice;
+ => provide notification-based API
+ - does not seem to work with timeouts (especially if service is not running)
+* ARM:
+ - need to get rid of synchronous API for service starts (cause all kinds of problems)
+ [=> eliminate for need to tell ARM about service starts most of the time!] [Safey]
+* HELLO:
+ - need function to test "equivalency" of HELLOs; use in topology!
* Module features to implement:
- advanced FS API parts
+ namespaces: fundamental namespace API
+ gnunet-download (many options)
+ gnunet-directory (man page, options)
+ gnunet-pseudonym (all of it)
- + gnunet-service-fs (remove failing on-demand blocks)
- + datastore: do active migration support here?
+ + gnunet-service-fs (remove failing on-demand blocks, stats, hot-path routing, load-based routing, nitpicks)
+ + datastore: do active migration support here?
- implement adv. FS testcases
+ + getopt API
+ insert: sblocks, loc uris
+ download: loc uris
+ search: sblocks, skblocks, loc uris
+ default generation
+ need to settle basic design; do we want to keep guile?
- testing (RC-pre0)
+ + modify configuration to allow controlling connections for non-local starts
+ testbed creation with topology (needs working F2F topology) [Nate]
+ testbed with churn [Nate]
+ implement library for distributed testing [Nate]
- create good Drupal theme for GNUnet
- make a NICE download page and figure out how to
enable developers to publish TGZs nicely
- - port "contact" page; add impressum
+ - port "contact" page
- add content type for "todo" items?
- DNS activation
* Plugins to implement:
- HTTPS transport backend
+ improved HTTPS support in MHD
+ actual plugin
+* Remove KBlocks in gnunet-unindex (see discussion with Kenneth Almquist on gnunet-devs in 9/2009)
+* Allow checking of presence of search results and/or content via command-line tools
+ (add options to gnunet-search / gnunet-download to limit search to local peer)
+* STATISTICS:
+ - should use BIO instead of mmap
+* PEERINFO:
+ - expire 'ancient' HELLOs (those without valid addresses AND that
+ we have not 'used' (for their public keys) in a while; need a way
+ to track actual 'use')
+ - make sue we also trigger notifications whenever HELLOs expire
