NetBSD/doc/TODO
jonb 675b5ba3f5 swept through the tree with find and grep looking for EDITOR.
Cleaned up all broken occurances found.

Did not check crypto/dist. (filenames imply these are not for exec $EDITOR)
Did not fully check sh and ksh. (lost in twisty mazes of function calls
     and finally just assumed it was good)
and did not check gnu/dist/cvs (appears ok by testing with this commit)

# $NetBSD: TODO,v 1.2 2002/12/05 22:47:28 jonb Exp $
THINGS TO BE DONE:
[ Note that this list does not include change requests filed via 'gnats'.
For information about them, mail query-pr@NetBSD.org. ]
This is a list of things that need to be done for NetBSD. Some of
these projects are small, others are large. Some are extremely
important, others are enhancements to make the system more flexible
for the wide variety of NetBSD users and their applications.
In general there are some guidelines for work to be included in
NetBSD. Chief among these are:
(1) Keep GPLed stuff out of the kernel.
(2) Introduce little to no more GPLed stuff as non-optional
components of the user environment.
(3) Only clean code, that lends itself to further enhancement
(4) Keep architecture dependent code out of architecture independent
directories
Associated with some entries are login names which indicate persons or
groups who may already be working on that problem. This isn't to say
that others shouldn't also look at it, but consultation with other
parties may result in less duplicated work. A directory of these
persons can be found after the todo list itself.
Please don't hesitate to suggest more projects for this list.
Suggestions, comments, etc to projects@NetBSD.org.
High Kernel:
swap fixes:
swap to file of dynamic size; see apollo
nfs:
kernel suport for lockd(8), lockf(3)
clean up support for LKM and protections checking (cgd)
Low Kernel:
[hp300] integrate into new SCSI setup (or wait for torek's?)
User-level support:
replace routed with gated (trouble with gated license).
User programs:
rwall nfs-mountees on shutdown
add detachment to window
clean up gas config files, set up common defines
Pie-in-the-Sky:
someone should actually test all the netiso stuff.
SMB filesystem
Documentation:
modify sys docs to reflect NetBSD/arch-specific stuff
clean up src/share/man/{man0,tools} so that we can generate a printable
version from the manpages again.
i386 kernel support:
better ways of accessing BIOS, i/o space. some exportable to
user space. See mach3,linux dos emulator
