+We can always use more help with the Mesa project.
+Here are some specific ideas and areas where help would be appreciated:
 </p>
 
-<ul>
-<li>Windows 98/NT build/driver maintenance and testing (Karl Schultz has been
-    doing a great job of this lately)
-<li>DOS/DJGPP build/driver maintenance and testing
-<li>GGI driver/build maintenance and testing
-<li>GNU autoconfig/libtool maintenance (esp. on non-Linux systems)
-<li>x86, SSE, 3DNow! and SPARC assembly language programming
-<li>Implement WGL font functions in the WGL interface code
-<li>Implement off-screen bitmap rendering support in the WGL interface code
-<li>Help with writing/testing the new NV_fragment_program extension code
-<li>Implement the ARB_vertex/fragment extensions
-<li>Download/compile/test Mesa and report any bugs found
-</ul>
+<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>
+</ol>

+Finally:
 <p>
-<ol>
-<li>Try to write clean code (uniform indentation, comments, meaningful
-      identifiers, etc).  It must be readable and maintainable!
 
-<li>Test your code.  On several occations I've incorporated code from
-      users which later turned out to have bugs.  Now, I'm pretty hesitant
-      to use code which doesn't look good.
+<ol>
+<li>Try to write high-quality code that follows the existing style.
+<li>Use uniform indentation, write comments, use meaningful identifiers, etc.
+<li>Test your code thoroughly.  Include test programs if appropriate.
