-Open jobs for finishing GNU libc:
----------------------------------
-Status: October 2004
-
-If you have time and talent to take over any of the jobs below please
-contact <bug-glibc@gnu.org>.
-
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-[ 1] Port to new platforms or test current version on formerly supported
-     platforms.
-
-**** See http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/porting.html for more details.
-
-
-[ 2] Test compliance with standards.  If you have access to recent
-     standards (IEEE, ISO, ANSI, X/Open, ...) and/or test suites you
-     could do some checks as the goal is to be compliant with all
-     standards if they do not contradict each other.
-
-
-[ 3] The IMHO opinion most important task is to write a more complete
-     test suite.  We cannot get too many people working on this.  It is
-     not difficult to write a test, find a definition of the function
-     which I normally can provide, if necessary, and start writing tests
-     to test for compliance.  Beside this, take a look at the sources
-     and write tests which in total test as many paths of execution as
-     possible.
-
-
-[ 4] Write translations for the GNU libc message for the so far
-     unsupported languages.  GNU libc is fully internationalized and
-     users can immediately benefit from this.
-
-     Take a look at the matrix in
-	ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ABOUT-NLS
-     for the current status (of course better use a mirror of ftp.gnu.org).
-
-
-[ 8] If you enjoy assembler programming (as I do --drepper :-) you might
-     be interested in writing optimized versions for some functions.
-     Especially the string handling functions can be optimized a lot.
-
-     Take a look at
-
-	Faster String Functions
-	Henry Spencer, University of Toronto
-	Usenix Winter '92, pp. 419--428
-
-     or just ask.  Currently mostly i?86 and Alpha optimized versions
-     exist.  Please ask before working on this to avoid duplicate
-     work.
-
-
-[11] Write access function for netmasks, bootparams, and automount
-     databases for nss_files, nss_nis, and nss_nisplus modules.
-     The functions should be embedded in the nss scheme.  This is not
-     hard and not all services must be supported at once.
-
-
-[15] Cleaning up the header files.  Ideally, each header style should
-     follow the "good examples".  Each variable and function should have
-     a short description of the function and its parameters.  The prototypes
-     should always contain variable names which can help to identify their
-     meaning; better than
-
-		int foo (int, int, int, int);
-
-     Blargh!
-
-***  The conformtest.pl tool helps cleaning the namespace.  As far as
-     known the prototypes all contain parameter names.  But maybe some
-     comments can be improved.
-
-
-[18] Based on the sprof program we need tools to analyze the output.  The
-     result should be a link map which specifies in which order the .o
-     files are placed in the shared object.  This should help to improve
-     code locality and result in a smaller footprint (in code and data
-     memory) since less pages are only used in small parts.
-
-
-[19] A user-level STREAMS implementation should be available if the
-     kernel does not provide the support.
-
-***  This is a much lower priority job now that STREAMS are optional in
-     XPG.
-
-
-[20] More conversion modules for iconv(3).  Existing modules should be
-     extended to do things like transliteration if this is wanted.
-     For often used conversion a direct conversion function should be
-     available.
-
-
-[23] The `strptime' function needs to be completed.  This includes among
-     other things that it must get teached about timezones.  The solution
-     envisioned is to extract the timezones from the ADO timezone
-     specifications.  Special care must be given names which are used
-     multiple times.  Here the precedence should (probably) be according
-     to the geograhical distance.  E.g., the timezone EST should be
-     treated as the `Eastern Australia Time' instead of the US `Eastern
-     Standard Time' if the current TZ variable is set to, say,
-     Australia/Canberra or if the current locale is en_AU.
