| Help Wanted |
| =========== |
| |
| We can always use more help with the Mesa project. Here are some |
| specific ideas and areas where help would be appreciated: |
| |
| #. **Driver patching and testing.** Patches are often posted to the |
| `mesa-dev mailing |
| list <https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev>`__, |
| but aren't immediately checked into Git because not enough people are |
| testing them. Just applying patches, testing and reporting back is |
| helpful. |
| #. **Driver debugging.** There are plenty of open bugs in the `bug |
| database <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues>`__. |
| #. **Remove aliasing warnings.** Enable GCC's |
| ``-Wstrict-aliasing=2 -fstrict-aliasing`` arguments, and track down |
| aliasing issues in the code. |
| #. **Contribute more tests to** |
| `Piglit <https://piglit.freedesktop.org/>`__. |
| |
| You can find some further To-do lists here: |
| |
| **Common To-Do lists:** |
| |
| - `features.txt <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/blob/main/docs/features.txt>`__ |
| - Status of OpenGL 3.x / 4.x features in Mesa. |
| |
| **Legacy Driver specific To-Do lists:** |
| |
| - `r600g <https://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/R600ToDo>`__ - Driver |
| for ATI/AMD R600 - Northern Island. |
| - `r300g <https://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/R300ToDo>`__ - Driver |
| for ATI R300 - R500. |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| Finally: |
| |
| #. Try to write high-quality code that follows the existing style. |
| #. Use uniform indentation, write comments, use meaningful identifiers, |
| etc. |
| #. Test your code thoroughly. Include test programs if appropriate. |
