<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="http://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>Windows driver building, testing and maintenance.</b>
|
|
Fixing MSVC builds.
|
|
<li>
|
|
<b>Contribute more tests to
|
|
<a href="http://piglit.freedesktop.org/">Piglit</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 piglit) then report issues to
|
|
the mailing list.
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|

<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>
