| + | ====== The MINIX 3 Road Map ====== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Here is the (tentative) MINIX 3 roadmap. It shows the things people are working on or we would like people to be working on. The projects are divided into three rough categories. Near-term projects are well under way and should be completed within a matter of months. Medium-term projects are just getting started and might take longer or shouldn't take that long once a volunteer is found. Long-term projects will take at least 6 months, probably more, before being finished. | ||
| + | |||
| + | An asterisk (*) after a feature name means that somebody is currently working on it. If you want to take on an unassigned project, first post to query to the [[http://groups.google.com/group/minix3|Google newsgroup]] to see if anyone else is interesting in working with you. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If there are projects not on this list that you would like done, please add them to the [[:Wishlist:]]. Even better, would be to do the project yourself and then announce it. | ||
