As every year GNU participates as umbrella organisation at Google Summer of Code. So if you willing to be a student or a mentor feel free to discuss the ideas here. Just few ideas to start with: -USB. It needs a lot of fixing and EHCI port. -AHCI. Really needed -Some other hardware which may contain something bootable. We will probably have a network subsystem contributed by IBM before Summer so making more cards to work would be a good project -Multiboot mission. Port widespread payloads to multiboot (FreeBSD, Linux, ...) -New port. The best idea now is probably ARM. More info follow in separate e-mail -Better video cards support -Native windows and ReactOS loading (not chainloading) -Parted integration -Booting time reductions by various means like using multicore and parallely loading and decompressing Have a look at https://savannah.gnu.org/task/?group=3Dgrub This list is only an entry point into discussion. Feel free to propose. Also some of items may be too small for a SoC. They can be bundled togeth= er --=20 Regards Vladimir '=CF=86-coder/phcoder' Serbinenko --------------enigF1F095FFF5F8767CD3288023 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iF4EAREKAAYFAkuw+z0ACgkQNak7dOguQglnuQD9Gu+o9tYG90F8/BMT24Kl/4uN G38sGjUxHKRuy5rCKLsBAL3StE6x7wp4qsEduZoovT8uJZ+XGQSApdiS3dTmfv6r =TRBS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigF1F095FFF5F8767CD3288023--
