I am de-emphasising a release because frankly Freenet isn't ready, and even if it was, until the exams I'm only going to have one or two days a week available, and I need to be around during a major release. That's just what I'm thinking at the moment, not meaning to undermine Ian or anything.
I'm also assuming Bombe handles most of the day to day build management, and I hope that people will flag up important bugs to me - I may not be able to keep up with FMS regularly for example. So how can I make the maximum possible impact the most quickly in the limited time available? I'm assuming Bombe will release 1406 soon. I'm absolutely delighted if somebody else takes on any of these tasks, but please let me know when you do! Here are some bug-someone issues that are mainly somebody else's area but where I will be bugging people or might be able to help: - Freenet: Build 1406 (Bombe) - Freetalk: Auto-backups and turn off fsync on commit. (Massive improvement) (p0s) - Freetalk: Only GC after receiving a full identity list. (Massive improvement) (p0s) The key tasks (for me) are: Near term: - Get the SSL certificate replaced. - Update various plugins. - Tweak the peer scaling constant. (1407, soon after 1406). - Wizard UI tweaks: See devl post "fewer pages" - Review Sone and deploy as an unofficial plugin. - Get default manifest putter working for transient + make default. (Some bugs e.g. on tracker/FMS, talk to Bombe) Bigger/harder/less urgent: - Implement auto-backup and turn off sync-on-commit in Freenet. - Get default manifest putter working for persistent + make default. (Need to de-leak it) - Random routed probe requests, including is-this-reachable. - Basic implementation of "keep this available". - Build/tweak a standard test for insert-success-by-number-of-inserts. - Help digger3 to gather more data. - Try some of the proposed post-NLM tweaks. -- E.g. Fully separate CHK vs SSK load management. - Chase insert-success-by-number-of-inserts empirically. - Implement invites and related stuff (good for darknet but also for viral spread) - Merge the ogg filters. - Make it easy to change the revocation/update keys. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
