|
|
|
Here are some specific ideas and areas where help would be appreciated:

<b>Driver patching and testing.</b>

|
|
|
Patches are often posted to the <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev" target="_parent">mesa-dev mailing list</a>, but aren't
|
2009-01-22 16:58:52 +00:00

|
|
immediately checked into git because not enough people are testing them.
|
|
|
|
Just applying patches, testing and reporting back is helpful.

<b>Maintenance and testing of lesser-used drivers.</b>

|
|
|
Drivers such as i810, mach64, mga, r128, savage, sis, tdfx, unichrome, etc that aren't being maintained are being
|
|
|
|
deprecated starting in Mesa 8.0.<br>
|
|
|
|
They have to be ported to DRI2 to be accepted in mesa master again.

It would be great if someone would set up an automated system for grabbing

|
|
the latest Mesa code and run tests (such as piglit) then report issues to

the mailing list.

If you want to do something new in Mesa, first join the Mesa developer's
|
2005-02-10 15:18:26 +00:00

|
|
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.
