<h3>Ongoing Projects</h3>
<p>
There are many people working on specific projects for OpenBSD, some of which
we cannot mention here yet. Here are some that we can...
<ul>
<li><strong>Cross compilation</strong><br>
Building a complete system on a different architecture.
<li><strong>PCMCIA support</strong><br>
Initially for the i386 port (in the tree already).
<li><strong>More ports</strong><br>
Many more ports... :)
</ul>
</p>
<h3>Projects looking for a home (Help wanted)</h3>
<p>
There are various ways in which people who have time to spare can help
the OpenBSD project. Some require technical knowledge, while others do not:
<ul>
<li><strong>Tracking NetBSD commits</strong><br>
OpenBSD was originally derived from NetBSD, and still tracks the
changes & improvements made to NetBSD. If you have the time to
assist in such work please get in touch with Niklas Hallqvist
<a href=mailto:niklas@openbsd.org><niklas@openbsd.org></a>
<li><strong>Sparc esp driver</strong><br>
The sparc esp scsi driver has two known problems - on some systems
with a floppy drive the scsi probe will hang unless there is a disk
in the drive, and more seriously multiple scsi targets do not
currently work. The current driver was written by Theo de Raadt
<a href=mailto:deraadt@theos.com><deraadt@theos.com></a>,
(now back from vacation :).
<li><strong>Documentation</strong><br>
Enough said - everyone is always looking for people to help on
documentation!
</ul>
