-PHASE #2: (Goal: recover basic file-sharing functionality)
-* TESTING (needed for DV, DHT, Topology)
- - implement library for local testing
- - implement testcases for library
- - implement library for distributed testing [Nate]
- - implement testcases for distributed testing [Nate]
-* TOPOLOGY:
- - implement testcases (needs TESTING)
-* HOSTLIST:
- - implement testcases
-* DV (needed for DHT)
- - write DV API
- - implement DV service [Nate & CG]
- - implement DV library [Nate]
- - implement DV transport plugin [Nate & CG]
- - implement testcases [Nate]
- - implement performance tests [Nate]
-* DHT (needed for FS)
- - implement DHT service (needs DV, DATACACHE)
- - implement DHT library
- - implement testcases
- - implement performance tests
-* FS
- - review FS API [Nils, Amatus, CG]
- - design network structs (CS)
- - implement FS library
- + URI API
+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-TESTBED [Nate]
+* SETUP
+* DV [Nate]
+* TBENCH
+* TRACEKIT
+* FRAGMENTATION [Ji Lu]
+* HTTP transport
+* MySQL / Postgres plugins (datastore, datacache) [Radhika]
+* UPNP [Milan]
+
+Urgent items (before announcing ng.gnunet.org):
+* topology
+ - needs testing
+* hostlist
+ - test fails (gnunet-service-core crashes -- sometimes; with memory corruption!)
+* CORE:
+ - soliciting traffic for clients that registered for it is not implemented
+ (in the service, client API supports GNUNET_MESSAGE_TYPE_CORE_SOLICIT_TRAFFIC
+ but never receives any such messages); how to avoid busy-waiting here
+ is a good question (solicit => nothing, when to solicit again???)
+* FS (basic anonymous FS only)
+ - implement FS service (P2P operations)
+ + how to send queries (soliciting is not there in core; do we
+ also want to do pushing sometimes?)
+ + need to bound queueing of replies for other peers
+ - test multi-peer search/download
+* new webpage
+ - 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
+=> Deploy(able) development network
+
+
+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!)
+* STATISTICS:
+ - synchronous/asynchronous API (& implementation) is not nice
+ - 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!]
+* Module features to implement:
+ - advanced FS API parts
+ + namespaces: fundamental namespace API
+ + search: SBlocks, KSBlocks, probes, notify FS-service of known results
+ + collection
+ + location URIs (publish, search, download)
+ + persistence support (publish, unindex, search, download)
+ + indexing: index-failure-cleanup
+ + download: management/bounding of parallel downloads (for recursive dl.)
+ + datastore reservation (publishing)
+ + gnunet-publish (URI args)
+ + gnunet-download (directory)
+ + gnunet-search (options, incl. namespace search)
+ + gnunet-download (many options)
+ + gnunet-directory (man page, options)
+ + gnunet-pseudonym (all of it)
+ + gnunet-service-fs (remove failing on-demand blocks, many other nitpicks/features/optimizations)
+ + datastore: do active migration support here?
+ - implement adv. FS testcases
+ getopt API
- + persistence mechanism
