Kill another old TODO file. Can we agree that this sort of documentation
doesn't belong in the root of the source tree?

-** To skip this preamble, search forward for the pattern `**'.
-
-This file contains a list of ideas that people have come up for "good
-things to do" in FreeBSD. These aren't necessarily things on the
-fast-track, and in fact consist mostly of things that the core team is
-never going to find the time to do so, if most things here are going
-to happen at all, they'll happen when someone reading this list steps
-forward and volunteers!
-
-That said, a lot of these ideas would be very nice to have and would
-add substantially to the perceived value of FreeBSD. Some items on
-this list would add a LOT of value, for that matter, and are by no
-means trivial. Take and fix an item with a (*) next to it and WC will
-even send you a free CD for your troubles! It's the least they
-can do for all notable contributors.
-
-This is a also good place to look if you're keen for a little
-assignment, whole project or just something random to do. Many folks
-often feel intimidated by the sheer size of FreeBSD and think "I'd
-like to pitch in somehow, but god, what can _I_ do? I can't possibly
-do any of the things the core team are doing - aiiggh! They'll laugh
-at my code, I know it! I can't do it!"
-Trust us, don't worry! Take a dedicated stab at something on this
-list and most of us will applaud - even if you don't finish, you may
-stir someone else into picking it up where you left off. Above all,
-pick something you'll have fun doing!
-
-There are small things and large things in this list, and we may
-periodically reshuffle it to mark things done, outdated or more
-important. Tasks are tagged with a unique ID number (YYMMDDNNN) for
-later tracking and are also easily machine-parsable by those seeking
-to browse them with some home-rolled search program. Some indication
-of relative difficulty level is also given for each task, though it
-should be kept in mind that one persons "easy" is anothers
-"impossible", so take the ratings with a grain of salt! :)
-
-If you start working on something from this list, we also suggest that
-you contact the email-address listed for more information and to
-provide some central coordination for your effort. If the email
-address given is simply <foo> then the email address can be presumed
-to be <foo@FreeBSD.ORG>. If no email address is listed, then
-simply send to <freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.org>.
-
-Thanks!

- The FreeBSD core team.

-TASK: Add hot-swap PCMICIA bus and driver support.
-DETAIL: { Several teams in Linux and one in NetBSD are working on providing
-hot insertion/removal and autoconfiguration of PCMCIA cards. This task
-also requires some modification of existing drivers to support being used
-by PCMCIA cards. This task is both really hard and comparatively easy;
-hard because it's a big job, easy because others have already gone much of
-the way and you have their work for reference. }

-TASKID: 940820006
-TASK: Add bootp/DHCP to the generic ethernet code.
-DETAIL: { Implement an ioctl(), which will send a bootp on a particular
-interface and return the data in a usable format. OR make a program which uses
-existing ioctls to do it. See RFC153[34] for information on DHCP. }

-desirable. }

-TASK: Add XPG-style message catalogs.
-DETAIL: { NetBSD has apparently already done the necessary work, so this
-pretty much comes down to either evaluating their stuff and making any changes
-necessary, or simply starting from scratch. Not having seen the code in
-question, I leave it up to the best judgement of the implementor as to how to
-best accomplish the task. }

-TASK: Make find smarter about -fstype local
-DETAIL: { Currently when doing a find blah -fstype local the find traverses
-through all nfs mounted file systems looking for locally mounted filesystems,
-this could be short circuited by using getmntinfo/statfs. Note that you
-can not do this when following symlinks. }

-TASKID: 95031701
-TASK: Implement a file system debugger (fsdb)
-DETAIL: { Traditionally, there has been a fsdb(8) program in Unix.
-This program is not part of 4.4BSD, but the current system lacks
-some utility to low-level step through the file system and repair
-(or damage:) something in case fsck tells about problems, but the
-administrator is unlucky with the suggested actions of fsck.
-The original fsdb had a terrible syntax, something more rationale
-should be built instead. }
