But I hope it won't be necessary. We should come up with a idea list today, because tomorrow Google will begin accepting applications. I think we should just start with http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub-soc.html and remove the project I did last summer. I think all the other tasks still need to be done. New ideas are welcome too of course. Personally I think one of the important things we have to do is making GRUB2 a suitable replacement for GRUB Legacy. This means implementing all the features from GRUB Legacy that GRUB2 doesn't have yet, making sure that the installer and other tools are all in a good state, etc. It's a bit difficult to make a task out of that, but IMHO it's time that GRUB2 gets ready for production use.
