5: <h1>OpenBSD project goals</h1>
6:
7: Each person working on OpenBSD has their own aims and priorities, but the
8: goals of project as a whole are to:
9:
10: <ul>
11: <li> Provide the best development platform possible - with
12: full source access for openbsd developers and users
13: <li> Work towards a machine independent source tree.
14: <li> Support as many different systems and hardware as feasible.
15: <li> Be as politics free as possible - solutions should be
16: decided on the basis of technical merit.
17: <li> Provide a good cross compile/development platform.
18: <li> Integrate good code from any source with acceptable
19: copyright (Berkeley style preferred, GPL acceptable, NDA not).
20: <li> Import external packages with minimal modifications -
21: making upgrading much easier. Also to submit back to the
22: developers any changes made.
23: </ul>

26: <h3>Projects looking for a home (Help wanted)</h3>
27:
28: There are various ways in which people who have time to spare can help
29: the OpenBSD project. Some require technical knowledge, while others do not:
30:
31: <ul>
32: <li> <b>Tracking NetBSD commits</b><br>
33: OpenBSD was originally derived from NetBSD, and still tracks the
34: changes & improvements made to NetBSD. If you have the time to
35: assist in such work please get in touch with Niklas Hallqvist
36: <a href=mailto:niklas@openbsd.org><niklas@openbsd.org></a>
37: <li> <b>Sparc esp driver</b><br>
38: The sparc esp scsi driver has two known problems - on some systems
39: with a floppy drive the scsi probe will hang unless there is a disk
40: in the drive, and more seriously multiple scsi targets do not
41: currently work. The current driver was written by Theo de Raadt
