+<h1>Help Wanted / To-Do List</h1>
<p>
We can always use more help with the Mesa project.
<ol>
<li>
-Enable -Wstrict-aliasing=2 -fstrict-aliasing and track down aliasing
+<b>Driver patching and testing.</b>
+Patches are often posted to the <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev" target="_parent">mesa-dev mailing list</a>, 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 <a href="https://bugs.freedesktop.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=Mesa" target="_parent">bug database</a>.
+<li>
+<b>Remove aliasing warnings.</b>
+Enable gcc -Wstrict-aliasing=2 -fstrict-aliasing and track down aliasing
issues in the code.
<li>
-Windows 98/NT driver building, maintenance and testing
+<b>Windows driver building, testing and maintenance.</b>
+Fixing MSVC builds.
+<li>
+<b>Maintenance and testing of lesser-used drivers.</b>
+Drivers such as i810, mach64, mga, r128, savage, sis, tdfx, unichrome, etc that aren't being maintained are being
+deprecated starting in Mesa 8.0.<br>
+They have to be ported to DRI2 to be accepted in mesa master again.
+<li>
+<b>Contribute more tests to
+<a href="http://people.freedesktop.org/~nh/piglit/" target="_parent">Piglit</a>.</b>
<li>
-Maintenance and testing of lesser-used drivers, such as DOS/DJGPP, GGI, etc.
+<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 piglit) then report issues to
+the mailing list.
