details of our specific participation in 2005 and 2006.
* Remove individual project ideas. Point users at the general project
ideas list and at the recent freebsd developer status reports.
* Remove list of accepted student projects. This has moved to
summerofcode-2006.html.
* Remove the FAQ about eligibility and proposals and replace it with a
single question about this program for 2007 with a non-committal
answer to check back in the spring.
- Move includes.nav*.sgml to share/sgml/navibar.ent and
<lang>/share/sgml/nabibar.l10n.ent.
- Move includes.sgml and includes.xsl to
share/sgml/common.ent, share/sgml/header.ent, <lang>/share/sgml/l10n.ent,
and <lang>?share/sgml/header.l10n.ent.
- Move most of XSLT libraries to share/sgml/*.xsl and
<lang>/share/sgml/*.xsl.
- Move news.xml and other *.xml files for the similar purpose
to share/sgml/*.xml and <lang>/share/sgml/*.xml.
- Switch to use a custom DTD for HTML document. Now we use
"-//FreeBSD//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional-Based Extension", which is
HTML 4.01 + some entities previously pulled via
"<!ENTITY % includes SYSTEM "includes.sgml"> %includes;" line.
The location of entity file will be resolved by using catalog file.
- Add DOCTYPE declearation to XML documents. This makes the followings
possible:
* Use of &foo; entities for SGML in an XML file instead of defining
{$foo} as the same content.
* &symbolic; entities for Latin characters.
- Duplicated information between SGML and XML, or English and
translated doc, has been removed as much as possible.
this in Perforce.
* Note that those interested in Xen should coordinate with Kip Macy.
* Don't claim that most of the autofs work is done.
* Remove the Magic Symlinks project.
* For the secure mines project, mention the audit framework and add
rwatson as someone to coordinate with.
Much of the above suggested by rwatson and others.
* Add a new section on "Proposal Guidelines" borrowed heavily from the
Perl Foundation open source proposal HOWTO.
* Begin the example proposal ideas section with a pointer to the general
ideas page as an additional source of projects that need developers.
* Add 3 project ideas proposed by David Malone last year: inode
versioning, ipv6 stack vulnerability audit, and ipv6 feature parity.
* Add generic input device subsystem project proposed by philip.
* Add gnn@ as a potential mentor for other unlisted networking projects.
* Add ssouhlal@ as a potential mentor for other unlisted filesystem/vm
projects.
* Add a FAQ entry with a pointer to the summerofcode-2005.html page
with last year's successful projects listed.
Note that none of these projects are written in stone. If you think a
particular project idea is bogus and shouldn't be worked on this
summer please contact the proposed mentor.
