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]
-
-PHASE #2: (Goal: recover basic file-sharing functionality)
-* 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 zeross)
- -- testcase fails!
- + consider changing API for peer-group termination
- to call continuation when done
- + testbed creation with topology (needs working F2F topology) [Nate]
- + testbed with churn [Nate]
- - implement testcases for library
- + get test for basic peer start to work!
- + test basic peer connect
- + test group start
- + test basic peer re-configure [Nate]
- + test topology creation [Nate]
- + test churn generation [Nate]
+Urgent items (before announcing ng.gnunet.org):
+* TRANSPORT:
+ - main service not implemented [Nate]
+ - testcases crash & burn (no surprise)
+* CORE:
+ - test currently fails spectacularly [segv of transport service]
+ => need transport to work first!
+ - request connect not working [Christian, need transport first]
* TOPOLOGY:
- - implement testcases (needs TESTING)
+ - needs testing [need transport first]
* HOSTLIST:
- - implement testcases
-* FS (anonymous FS only)
- - review FS API [Nils, Amatus, CG]
- - design network structs (CS)
- - implement FS library
- + URI API -- DONE (but do more testing)
- + getopt API -- DONE (but do more testing)
- + persistence mechanism (design done)
- + sharing API
- ~ file-information (needs testing)
- ~ directory: implement new directory builder!
- ~ insert: close, need directory builder first!
- ~ unindex & list indexed!!!
- ~ search
- ~ download
- ~ namespaces
- ~ collection
- - design network structs (P2P)

- ~ file-information
- ~ insert
- ~ download
- ~ search
- ~ unindex
- ~ namespaces
- ~ collection
- + directory API
- - implement performance tests (needs TESTING)
- + insert
- + download
- + search
- + unindex
+ - needs testing [need transport first]
+* FS (basic anonymous FS only)
+ - implement FS service (P2P operations)
+ + implement sending of queries (low-priority push!)
+ + need to bound queueing of replies for other peers
+ - test multi-peer search/download
* new webpage
- - install on proper server
- - activate as ng.gnunet.org
+ - 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
-PHASE #3: (Goal: ready for pre-release) [completion-goal: end of 2009]
+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
+ + 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
+ + insert: sblocks, loc uris
+ + download: loc uris
+ + search: sblocks, skblocks, loc uris
+ + namespaces
+ + collection
+ - implement FS performance tests (needs TESTING)
+ + insert
+ + download
+ + search
+ + unindex
+ - non-anonymous FS service (needs DHT)
+ + basic DHT integration
+ + CS-DHT-functions (DHT-put of LOC)
+ + P2P-functions (DHT-get)
- setup (RC-pre0)

+ 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
