Re: looking for open tasks

hi,
thanks for the ideas.
I've talked to my colleagues, and we selected out some things:

This is very interesting, but i am not sure about its difficulty.
What's the status of this in Haiku? I see you have ipw2100 driver,
but i found no mention of 802.11 stack (that appears to be quite
important for wifi to work, at least in linux).
So how is it?

These two look promising. Can you provide more details?
(what exactly is needed and where in the sources are starting points)
> * implement ZeroConf and/or Bonjour networking services
i personally very much like this one, but it wouldn't qualify
for our assignment :e(

I do have many ideas, but most of them are for userspace ;)
But i like the kind you provided. If you have any more like
that, please tell ;)

I wasn't able to find any open bugs in there ;) Probably an issue with
the predefined queries.
But that might be fun. We could pick bugs from some particular area and
label the project "debug and improve <area name>". Any tips on what area
could that be?

regards,
m.
