#Please list the software you are working (or plan to be working) on
#in the first sections below. Listing the date and your name or email
#address for contact would be good too.
#
#The WISH LIST section below is for stuff in your to-do list that you
#would like others to do.
#
#IN PROGRESS
#
#none
#
#STUCK
#
# *	upas/fs modified to leave mail messages on remote media rather
#	than loading them into RAM; see p9p's upas/fs.
#
# *	Making the fmt library more portable by safer use of varargs and
#	adding %'d and %4$d POSIX extensions for internationalization. --
#	rob
#
# *	[9P2000.u] (9/2004) UNIX extensions to the 9P2000 protocol --
#	[ericvh] & ron minnich
#
# *	[TinyGL | http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/TinyGL/]. A very light
#	implementation of a subset of the OpenGL graphics library. Already
#	ported to several non-X windowing environments -- mirtchov@cpsc,
#	stalled, better shoot for the real thing and port MesaGL. This has
#	also stalled for a year -- the software rendering compiles with
#	ape/pcc, but the driver for draw() is half-done.
#
# *	[Coreboot | http://www.coreboot.org] Mods needed to get Plan9 to
#	load directly from flash (no 9load) via Coreboot. Also see if I can
#	get POST codes into the startup code -- makes debugging new
#	platforms tons easier. No impact once the node is up.
#
# *	Read-only FFS (both UFS1 and UFS2) -- wkj
#
# *	Native port of GSL (GNU Scientific Library): numerical
#	integration almost working, random distributions in progress -- --
#	[++pac] 2005Apr29
#
# *	802.1x supplicant. in progress, /n/sources/contrib/axel/8021x .
#	Only supports ttls-pap. I can now also test peap here; no clue yet
#	whether it is worth to add support for it. --
#	axel.belinfante@cs.utwente.nl
#
# *	DFS layer to go on top of aux/cifs - currently a working DFS
#	client has been bodged into cifs, the separate layer will grow from
#	this -- Steve
#
# *	Add client authentication to TLS in libsec -- ckeen
#
#NEVER FINISHED
#
# *	Port to PowerPC iMac [http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~412/projects/9mac/].
#	Apparently stopped in 2005.
#
# *	PPC970 Port (in faith, haven't started yet, but going to shortly)
#	-- [ericvh]
#
# *	htmlfmt to understand tables. - I am working on it now. You can
#	find the latest update at /n/sources/contrib/pietro/htmlfmt.tgz --
#	pietro
#
# *	IBM Research Hypervisor Support for x86/ppc kernels (11/2004) --
#	[ericvh]
#
# *	64-bit MIPS port. Currently targeted towards SGI's R4K+ systems.
#	-- tim at nop dot cx
#
#HARDWARE DRIVERS IN PROGRESS
#
#STALLED HARDWARE DRIVERS
#
# *	GigE driver for the SysKonnect family of cards (work in progress)
#	-- cnielsen@pobox.com
#
# *	Broadcom BCM5751M Gigabit ethernet. George Gensure was working on
#	this, see 9fans passim. [Overview |
#	http://www.broadcom.com/collateral/pb/5751M-PB02-R.pdf]
#
# *	Centrino wifi driver, mostly written, needs to be finished, see
#	/n/sources/contrib/rsc/ipw2200
#
#WISH LIST
#
# *	x86 emulator to run the VESA BIOS on PCs, basic emulator already
#	exists in /n/sources/contrib/rsc/8i. See x86emu.
#
# *	Implement some form of compression in devssl and devtls and make
#	drawterm use it.
#
# *	tiff(1) in a similar vein to jpg(1), png(1) etc. Andrey has
#	already ported libtiff see /n/sources/contrig/andrey/libtiff.tgz
#	which should help.
#
# *	webdavfs - for MS Exchange
#
# *	Kerberos 5 client
#
# *	replica/pull to have a -m (3 way merge) option
#
# *	GUI image manipulation program - page(1) crossed with sam(1)
#	which calls resample(1) and crop(1) (and other tools) [would love
#	to see this implemented in Acme.... -- [++pac]
#
# *	A basic http/ftp proxy - maybe cache/regex advert stripping too.
#
# *	A new option to the fossil console snap command, allowing an
#	already ingested vac score to be inserted into the /archive tree.
#
# *	cryptfs (see [http://www.crypto.com/papers/cfs.pdf]).
#
# *	GEOM-Based Disk Encryption (GBDE); see
#	[http://phk.freebsd.dk/pubs/bsdcon-03.gbde.paper.pdf] and
#	[http://lists.cse.psu.edu/archives/9fans/2005-February/040378.html].
#
# *	LDAP File System Server
#
# *	Linux binary emulator [linuxemu |
#	http://pdos.lcs.mit.edu/~rsc/linuxemu.tar.gz] in theory, linuxemu
#	ld-linux.so.1 bin/a.dynamic is supposed to work, but unfortunately
#	ld-linux.so.1 wants to be loaded where the linuxemu text segment
#	is. you'd need to move the linuxemu text segment somewhere else and
#	then segdetach it before calling elfload. it's entirely doable,
#	especially since x86 code is position independent. ... The
#	libraries have changed since I did the initial work ... looks like
#	there are new system calls to implement! -- Russ Cox
#
# *	Tk emulator/port.
#
# *	Input server for Chinese/Japanese/Korean.
#
# *	Some sort of user space emulator, like qemu, for Plan 9.
#
# *	A way for acme applications to set the 'scratch' flag (especially
#	for win)
#
# *	Acme graphics capability & turning Acme to full UI Command window
#	instead of menus, or taglines, everywhere. Maybe a single system
#	cmd win connected to the last touched win -- [++pac]
#
# *	DOS binary emulator, just plain DOS, not Win -- [++pac]
#
# *	Fine-tuned mouse control (plenty of mice have more than three
#	buttons and it would be nice to see Plan 9 be able to remap the
#	buttons as desired). For example, I might want to have physical
#	button #5 interpreted as someone pressing logical button #1.
#
#HARDWARE DRIVERS WANTED
#
# *	XHCI, USB 3
#
# *	Bluetooth, probably via USB (see 9fans@hamnavoe.com and
#	9nut@9netics.com)
#
# *	dual-display VGA support
#
# *	IRDA comms
#
# *	AC97 support
#
# *	Nvidia Forcedeth Gigabit ethernet
#
#DONE PROJECTS
#
# *	port to Routerboard RB450G - geoff

# *	port to Raspberry Pi by Richard Miller.
#
# *	new bootstraps that use normal kernel drivers - geoff
#
# *	port to multi-core ARM v7 Compulab Trimslice - geoff

# *	SSH v2, courtesy Brian Stuart. Requires manual setup; see
#	ssh1(1), ssh2(1) and ssh(4), especially the BUGS sections.
#
# *	ACPI support, see http://www.acpi.info/. Minimal parsing of MADT
#	tables for secondary CPUs is working, early 2012.
#
# *	64-bit PowerPC compilers [done: forsyth@vitanuova.com; gradually
#	moving into distrib]
#
# *	Currently at sources: /nemo Redirfs: Fail over from one file
#	server to another. Working. Still on testing. --
#	nemo@plan9.escet.urjc.es.
#
# *	A read-only version of upas/fs that you can export via 9P2000 to
#	be used for people to browse/search 9fans and plan9dev without
#	having to use Google: Use exportfs -R; the TIP9UG guys plan to set
#	this up on their public servers.
#
# *	A port of AT&T GraphViz - open source graph drawing software (see
#	[http://www.graphviz.org/]). Compiled graphviz-1.10 with mk and pcc
#	(dot, neato, twopi). The plan9 source is at
#	[http://www2.davidashen.net/graphviz-p9.tbz] -- dvd@davidashen.net
#
# *	64-bit (or 32-bit) version of /sys/src/fs with IDE DMA and RWM,
#	Intel Gbe driver, longer filename components and more
#	[http://www.collyer.net/sys/doc/fs64/fs.ps]. The distribution is
#	[http://www.collyer.net/who/geoff/9/fs64.tgz]. -- geoff
#
# *	Unionfs. To merge several trees without binding each directory.
#	For example, to make a patch for a read only media. (see
#	[Divergefs])
#
# *	Snmpfs v1 and v2. To access snmp tables from devices. The source
#	is in [http://www.9grid.es]. -- gabidiaz
#
# *	SPF [Sender Policy Framework | http://www.openspf.org]
#	parser/checker for use in /mail/lib/validatesender.
#	[http://www.9grid.es]. -- gabidiaz
#
# *	SATA driver: Intel ICH7-M chipset with an 82801GBM AHCI SATA
#	interface [Datasheet |
#	http://download.intel.com/design/chipsets/datashts/30701302.pdf]
#	[Updates |
#	http://download.intel.com/design/chipsets/specupdt/30701418.pdf]
#
# *	USB disk support, allowing access to IPods and other usb storage
#	devices.
#
# *	USB keyboard driver. (Some motherboards provide BIOS options to
#	emulate USB keyboards as PS2 keyboards, but this doesn't work for
#	everyone.)
#
# *	a mechanism to lock-focus in ACME (particularly for locking focus
#	in the menu bars) to help make things more useable in the face of
#	mouse drift: acme -b.
#
# *	cdfs capable of writing DVDs & Blu-ray discs.
#
# *	tarfs, and scuzz not limited to 2GB, to allow to burn tarDVD's --
#	[++pac].
#
# *	SFTP client that will give file access to a remote ssh server
#
# *	[CIFS Server | http://www.9fs.org/dist/aquarela].
