Re: [Netnice-developer] request to join the team

[Takashi O. <ta...@cs...>]

hello kshitij!

thanks for the contact. yes, we welcome you.

to get started, can you register yourself to sf.net so that i can
include you to the developer member list? it will give you full access
to the source repository (though, it is still under construction).


currently, our todo list includes following topics;

 - packaging system for the multi-platform source repository

to support various platforms, we will release a package with
source codes and installation scripts of various OSs. to this end,
we are currently discussing how to hold source repository, how the
directories in the package be organized, etc. this part will finish
in a week or two.

 - stabilization of FreeBSD kernel patch

for the latest release, netnice-2.1, i will try to stabilize the main
development branch upto production level. then, the stable will be ported
to OpenBSD and NetBSD, shortly. i want to finish this part in September.

 - adding of packet monitoring feature to virtual network interface

we are trying to extend our primitive, virtual network interface, to
support BPF like monitoring feature. actually, i'll make it BPF compatible
so that libpcap, tcpdump, ethereal, etc, would work on each virtualized
interface. i'll finish this in October.

 - expansion of the QoS daemon, netniced.

to make most of the advanced primitive for network monitoring and control,
i am extending the highly-flexible QoS daemon, netniced. main focus is laid
on its scripting environment. i'm now embedding a JavaScript interpreter,
SpiderMonkey (Mozilla's JS engine) to netniced so that traffic control
application is easily written by JavaScript. however, although this would be
an attractive multi-platform application (application platform, to be exact),
i do not have enough time for this part, and thus, need more help; class
library developer, application programmer, document writer, etc.

 - testing of the traffic control module for Apache, mod_netnice

although i wrote an apache module, mod_netnice, last year, it has not been
well tested. so, we need somebody to take care of the application.

 - multi-platform support

as a mult-platform primitive, we will port the system onto OpenBSD, NetBSD,
Darwin, and Linux. *BSD porting would not be too laborious, although Darwin
porting may, and Linux porting can be a bit hard. however, i have once ported
netnice version 1 to linux before, and thus, following the steps i made, it
would not be impossible. this is the part that we really need more workforce.


any information about your preferred area of task might be helpful, and pls
feel free to ask any sort of questions. lastly, just for marketing purpose,
can you tell us how you found the project, and what interested you, in
particular? this would be used to improve our public relations and project
homepage.

again, thank you for your contact, and welcome to the netnice developers
community!!
