<p>
We can always use more help with the Mesa project.
</p>
<ol>
-<li><p>
- Generate the src/mesa/main/enums.c file with a Python script which
- uses the gl_API.xml file.
- </p>
-<li><p>
- Try to auto-generate the display list "save" functions seen in dlist.c
- using a Python script and the gl_API.xml file.
- The gl_API.xml file will probably need a new tag to indicate whether or
- not each function gets compiled into display lists.
- </p>
-<li><p>
- Maintenance of assembly language files on Linux, Windows and SPARC systems.
- </p>
-<li><p>
- Help to incorporate the 3Dlabs' shading language compiler for OpenGL 2.0.
- </p>
-<li><p>
- Implement assembly language (SSE/MMX) code generation for
- vertex/fragment programs.
- </p>
-<li><p>
- Windows 98/NT driver building, maintenance and testing
- (Karl Schultz has been doing a great job of this lately).
- </p>
-<li><p>
- Maintenance and testing of various drivers, such as DOS/DJGPP, GGI, etc.
- </p>
-<li><p>
- Write new tests for Glean.
- </p>
+<li>
+<b>Driver patching and testing.</b>
+Patches are often posted to the mesa3d-dev mailing list, but aren't
+immediately checked into git because not enough people are testing them.
+Just applying patches, testing and reporting back is helpful.
+<li>
+<b>Driver debugging.</b>
+There are plenty of open bugs in the bug database.
+<li>
+<b>Remove aliasing warnings.</b>
+Enable gcc -Wstrict-aliasing=2 -fstrict-aliasing and track down aliasing
+issues in the code.
+<li>
+<b>Windows driver building, testing and maintenance.</b>
+The Visual Studio project files aren't always updated in a timely manner
+when new source files are added or old ones are removed.
+Fixing these tends to delay new Mesa releases.
+<li>
+<b>Maintenance and testing of lesser-used drivers.</b>
+Drivers such as DOS/DJGPP, GGI, etc that aren't being maintained are being
+deprecated starting in Mesa 7.3.
+<li>
+<b>Contribute more tests to
+<a href="http://glean.sourceforge.net/" target="_parent">glean</a>.</b>
+<li>
+<b>Automatic testing.
+</b>
+It would be great if someone would set up an automated system for grabbing
+the latest Mesa code and run tests (such as glean) then report issues to
+the mailing list.
