| <h1>Help Wanted / To-Do List</h1> |
| |
| <p> |
| We can always use more help with the Mesa project. |
| Here are some specific ideas and areas where help would be appreciated: |
| </p> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li> |
| <b>Driver patching and testing.</b> |
| Patches are often posted to the <a href="https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev">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">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> |
| <b>Contribute more tests to |
| <a href="https://piglit.freedesktop.org/">Piglit</a>.</b> |
| </ol> |
| |
| <p> |
| You can find some further To-do lists here: |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| <b>Common To-Do lists:</b> |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><a href="https://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/tree/docs/features.txt"> |
| <b>features.txt</b></a> - Status of OpenGL 3.x / 4.x features in Mesa.</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p> |
| <b>Legacy Driver specific To-Do lists:</b> |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><a href="https://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/R600ToDo"> |
| <b>r600g</b></a> - Driver for ATI/AMD R600 - Northern Island.</li> |
| <li><a href="https://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/R300ToDo"> |
| <b>r300g</b></a> - Driver for ATI R300 - R500.</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p> |
| If you want to do something new in Mesa, first join the Mesa developer's |
| mailing list. |
| Then post a message to propose what you want to do, just to make sure |
| there's no issues. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| Anyone is welcome to contribute code to the Mesa project. |
| By doing so, it's assumed that you agree to the code's licensing terms. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| Finally: |
| </p> |
| |
| <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. |
| </ol> |
