move "issue tracker, wiki and this page" to end (confusing for first-time readers as it almost completely doesn't apply to non-maintainers)
1 | 10 | Paul Kocialkowski | h1. Tasks |
---|---|---|---|

3 | 62 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | This page describe how to help Replicant if you have some time at hand. |
4 | 1 | Paul Kocialkowski | |
5 | 62 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | h2. Project focus |
6 | 1 | Paul Kocialkowski | |
7 | 66 | Wolfgang Wiedmeyer | While supporting many common (Samsung) phones and tablets is relatively easy and fast to do, we think that it's way more important to support devices that are better for freedom: |
8 | 62 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | * Many Samsung devices we do support have an isolated modem, however we can't free their bootloader because it is signed. |
9 | * Devices like the GTA04, the LG Optimus black don't have that bootloader issue, while still having an isolated modem. |
||
10 | 1 | Paul Kocialkowski | |
11 | 65 | Loic Dachary | We therefore strongly advise to pick tasks that would advance this goal. |
12 | 62 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | We however still accept contributions for devices with isolated modems and non-free bootloader. |

14 | 62 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | h2. Tasks that don't require specific hardware |
15 | 35 | Paul Kocialkowski | |
16 | 62 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | * Fix the security vulnerabilities reported in the issue tracker (Very important). |
17 | 72 | Wolfgang Wiedmeyer | * Make it easy to rebuild the prebuilt parts of the toolchain and other binaries in the source code (Important). |
18 | 67 | Wolfgang Wiedmeyer | * Make a more complete EGL implementation like llvmpipe usable so newer webview versions and Firefox-based browsers can be used (Feature #705) (Very important as it affects security) |
19 | 75 | Wolfgang Wiedmeyer | * Improve hardware-specific graphics acceleration (Feature #1491, [[GraphicsResearch]]) (Important if it can benefits devices with free bootloaders). |
20 | 74 | Wolfgang Wiedmeyer | * Make it easy to build and release a Replicant NDK or a package with build tools from the Replicant source code (Issue #1787 and Feature #837, see also [[NDKBuild]] for Replicant 4.2) |
21 | 62 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | * Improve software video decoding (Feature #1521) (Less important) |
22 | 1 | Paul Kocialkowski | * Clean the ReplicantWallpapers code and use modern Trebuchet-like wallpaper selector (Feature #1527) |
23 | |||
24 | h2. Device-specific tasks |
||
25 | |||
26 | * Figure out the [[BCM4751]] GPS protocol and write a free implementation (Feature #1473) (Important since it affects many devices, including the optimus black). |
||
27 | * Improve various aspects of [[Samsung-RIL]] (add support for missing features and/or correct bugs) (Issue #1485) |
||
28 | * Add the missing audio scenarios for bluetooth (AD2P, calls, etc), dock audio for the [[GalaxyS2I9100|Galaxy S2 (I9100)]] (#1497) |
||
29 | * Make the [[GSD4t]] GPS work (Feature #1479) |
||
30 | * Write free firmware replacements for WiFi, Bluetooth, camera and hardware media encoding/decoding chips on Replicant-supported devices |
||
31 | 77 | Wolfgang Wiedmeyer | |
32 | h2. Issue tracker, wiki and this page |
||
33 | |||
34 | * Make the issue tracker more clear |
||
35 | * Write guidelines for reporting bugs |
||
36 | They should clarify which kind of issues should rather be discussed in the forums and how security issues should be reported. |
||
37 | * Create a "How to become a Replicant developer" page, providing a short and lightweight intro for newcomers, mainly consisting of tips |
||
38 | developer and porting guide can be a bit heavy-weight if you just want to start tinkering |
||
39 | * Describe the project priorities and the required hardware if any |
