Some ideas that come to mind: - add support for 3D windows larger than 2048x2048 on radeon/r200 (see 2048 thread on dri-devel archives) - bug in radeon/r200 with lesson 24 and glxgears (see dri-devel archives from last few days, also monday's IRC log) - lockups with certain screensavers - any dri bugs in bugzilla (http://bugs.xfree86.org) - finish up mach64, cle266, or virge DRI drivers - help Felix and Maximo with the savage DRI driver - help Eric with the old sis DRI driver - help Ian with hw indirect rendering and the new GLX interface - add new extensions (http://dri.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/ToDo) I'm sure there are other small projects as well that others can add.
