Pretty much everything from http://wiki.x.org/wiki/SummerOfCodeIdeas2008 is still valid. There's also http://wiki.x.org/wiki/ToDo and http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/SummerOfCode Some new ideas presented by folks on IRC: - VDPAU on Gallium - libpciaccess port to HURD - r600 support on Gallium - XGrabKeysym(), probably as part of Xi2, so clients don't have to monitor for keymap changes on hotplug/xmodmap - https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11227 (allow >255 keycodes) - https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=931 (replacing libxkbfile with something less crusty) - merging xkbcomp into the server - true multi-touch support in X. though that'd require whot to get XI2 done first... - something to replace XEvIE in the new input world -- Thanks, Donnie Donnie Berkholz X team lead, Gentoo Linux Blog: http://dberkholz.wordpress.com
