Notes on NetBSD projects (if you are looking for stuff to do, please feel free to tackle these...):

These are all things I've been intending to do or think would be useful to do, but in many cases all I've done is note that fact -- plus the volume is far more than I can get done myself, so it would be great if anyone wanted to take charge of any of these.

Projects with catchy (or not so catchy) names:

• amberfs (new baseline file system)
• bikeshed (version control)
• mint (replace lint)
• nfsv4
• offler (replace ELF)
• pbulkstat (console for bulk build reports)
• pkgmill (package building and management tool)
• pkgquilt (per-topic patches for pkgsrc)
• risc36 (36-bit port)
• rollbulk (incremental bulk builder)
• swallowtail (new bug database)

Projects without specific names:

• audio mixing
• binary packages usability issues
• building pkgsrc updates
• deadlock detector for LOCKDEBUG
• desktop infrastructure
• domain-specific language for device drivers
• fallocate/fdiscard for ffs
• merge the harvard journaling ffs
• lfs renovation
• libc13 branch
• lpr renovation
• make cleanup
• modernize /usr/share/doc
• publish/subscribe sockets
• replace proplib
• replace twm in base
• removable media handling
• rework nss handling in libc
• secure attention key and user switching in X
• sh testsuite
• syslogd improvements
• tablet UI
• tty cleanup and multiprocessorization
• vfs cleanup
• vnode refcount debugging code
• wireless usability issues

Some projects that are more out there:

• pash (parallelizing shell)
• sapphire (environment for phone-style apps on unix)
• sherlock (a sh-to-sh optimizing compiler)

Some other non-NetBSD projects that I think are worthwhile but I'm unlikely to make any progress on myself:

• a translator from C++ to something else (for migrating code, not just compiling it)
• a statically-typed script language
• a new debugger
• poof (netpbm for object files)
