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
+* MySQL / Postgres plugins (datastore, datacache) [Radhika]
+* UPNP [Milan]
Urgent items (before announcing ng.gnunet.org):
-* FS (basic anonymous FS only)
- - implement FS service
- + 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
- - implement testcases
- + URI API
- + getopt API
- + sharing API
- ~ file-information
- ~ publish (insert, index)
- ~ download
- ~ search
- ~ unindex
- + directory API
+* 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???)
-* 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?)
+* 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
- - 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:
- - heap: "remove_node" can hardly be O(1) given the API, but it should be (!)
- 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
+ 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
+ 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:
* 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
