Ongoing Projects

There are many people working on specific projects for OpenBSD, some of which we cannot mention here yet. Here are some that we can...

• Cross compilation
  Building a complete system on a different architecture.
• PCMCIA support
  Initially for the i386 port (in the tree already).
• More ports
  Many more ports... :)

Projects looking for a home (Help wanted)

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:

• Tracking NetBSD commits
  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 <niklas@openbsd.org>
• Sparc esp driver
  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 <deraadt@theos.com>, (now back from vacation :).
• Documentation
  Enough said - everyone is always looking for people to help on documentation!
