<h1>Help Wanted / To-Do List</h1>
<p>
We can always use more help with the Mesa project.
Here are some specific ideas and areas where help would be appreciated:
</p>
<ol>
<li>
<b>Driver patching and testing.</b>
Patches are often posted to the <a href="https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev">mesa-dev mailing list</a>, but aren't
immediately checked into git because not enough people are testing them.
Just applying patches, testing and reporting back is helpful.
<li>
<b>Driver debugging.</b>
There are plenty of open bugs in the <a href="https://bugs.freedesktop.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=Mesa">bug database</a>.
<li>
<b>Remove aliasing warnings.</b>
Enable gcc -Wstrict-aliasing=2 -fstrict-aliasing and track down aliasing
issues in the code.
<li>
<b>Contribute more tests to
<a href="https://piglit.freedesktop.org/">Piglit</a>.</b>
</ol>
<p>
You can find some further To-do lists here:
</p>
<p>
<b>Common To-Do lists:</b>
</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/tree/docs/features.txt">
<b>features.txt</b></a> - Status of OpenGL 3.x / 4.x features in Mesa.</li>
</ul>
<p>
<b>Legacy Driver specific To-Do lists:</b>
</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/R600ToDo">
<b>r600g</b></a> - Driver for ATI/AMD R600 - Northern Island.</li>
<li><a href="https://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/R300ToDo">
<b>r300g</b></a> - Driver for ATI R300 - R500.</li>
</ul>
<p>
If you want to do something new in Mesa, first join the Mesa developer's
mailing list.
Then post a message to propose what you want to do, just to make sure
there's no issues.
</p>
<p>
Anyone is welcome to contribute code to the Mesa project.
By doing so, it's assumed that you agree to the code's licensing terms.
</p>
<p>
Finally:
</p>
<ol>
<li>Try to write high-quality code that follows the existing style.
<li>Use uniform indentation, write comments, use meaningful identifiers, etc.
<li>Test your code thoroughly. Include test programs if appropriate.
</ol>
