in IRCNet/Freenode (nick: gnrp). - - -== Primary goals == - -We see four main goals one could achieve within five days with enough manpower: - -1. Update and complete the several guides we have. -The NetBSD guide could have some updates (e.g. one could write about npf, -or write one guide for it on its own). -The internals guide has many XXXs in it, too, and the part about regression -testing is factually empty, and perhaps could need one guide on its own. - -2. The wiki needs some work on it. -The old wiki needs to be migrated completely into the new one. - -3. NetBSD could need some new advertising material. Anyone good in writing -texts can make new texts for the current flyers, and if you're good with -inkscape and scribus, creating one or two posters for exhibitions would be -nice, too. - -4. Minor improvements (working on manpages), thinking about versioning the -documentation, address some topics that was not written about before. - - -== Possible topics == - -There were several suggestions on what could be done, so here are topics -somebody wanted to be addressed: - -=== Working on guides === - * Create a list of notebooks and netbooks running NetBSd, what is missing - with them and what is running. This page could suit well into the wiki - where it is editable by more people. - * genfs, fifofs, layerfs and specfs actually have no manpages and nearly no - documentation. Documenting them would be good for writing new FSs. - * Look into internals guide. Every chapter (except for five) has XXXs in it - or misses fundamental information. - * Regression testing needs to be documented. It has a chapter in the - internals guide, but I want to stress this topic, as it is important for - people new to developing with NetBSD. - * The Xen-howto could be updated (http://www.lumbercartel.ca/library/xen/ - might be a good source). - * Write an introduction for people coming from Linux and migrating to - NetBSD, the main differences to consider, etc. - * Create an npf guide (similarly to the PF user's guide - http://openbsd.org/faq/pf/index.html). This doesn't need to be as lengthy - as the OpenBSD one, but having one would be nice. - This can also be addressed in the guide's chapter concerning firewalls. - * The pkgsrc guide could also need updates. Additionally, it would be good - for people new to pkgsrc if the way make works and how dependencies are - automatically resolved would be documented in the guide. - That would make it much easier for people who want to contribute. - * Write an example on how to migrate NetBSD to a new platform. - * Gather and actualize bluetooth information. The chapter in the guide could - be updated. - * Write an article on how to contribute. At the moment, there is - http://www.netbsd.org/contrib/, but having a guide on how NetBSD - development really works, where the code lies and how e.g. the website - is made (it took me weeks to figure out where the website lies), etc. would - be good. - -=== wiki === - * Migrate articles from the old user wiki (http://wiki-static.aydogan.net/) - to the new one. Some progress was documented in - http://wiki.netbsd.org/users/asau/. - * Design a new wiki frontpage and think about how to order the wiki. The old - user wiki had a pretty nice one. - * Create a site for 'general tips' related to NetBSD that don't really fit - into any other category. - * Think of an easier way for new users (non-developers) to contribute to the - wiki. At the moment, the way with getting an OpenID, writing a mail, - waiting for creation and activation is long and difficult. - One could e.g. think about having a simple NetBSD OpenID-server (SimpleID - is quite nice for that) and a registration form so that you don't have to - dig through OpenID first to get an account. - -=== advertising material === - * Work out posters (potentially A0) for exhibitions. Anybody fond with - inkscape, scribus and design could do great work on that! - * Work over the advertising materials, the exiting can be seen here: - http://www.netbsd.org/gallery/advocacy/. - They have nice designs, but are fairly outdated and don't really outline - what NetBSDs benefits are. - * Design new wallpapers. NetBSD needs nice wallpapers for your desktop. ;) - -=== miscellanous documentation === - * pcap(3) could need cross-links (e.g. pcap_next and pcap_next_ex). - * Work over vfs(9) and vnode(9) (some functions missing), and insert them - into the internals guide. - * Work through the packages in pkgsrc/x11 and xsrc and document - correspondences and version numbers there. This is important for working - on pkgsrc's Xorg. - * Update the pages for possible projects and bounties, and think of some - infrastructure on how to make it easily appendable. Currently, there are - three pages for that issue: http://wiki.netbsd.org/projects/, - http://wiki-static.aydogan.net/Bounties and - http://www.netbsd.org/contrib/projects.html. - I think, merging them all into one with a good table for all would be - possible, also coming up with new and gathering existing ideas and - contributing them.
