Hi, Here below is a short list of stuff that could need contributing, from the top of my head: Creating packages: - Cyclicly making sure all we have packaged so far is still up to date - Creating packages for (free) DOS sofware that is not packaged yet - Porting existing non-DOS software to DOS - Nagging old shareware authors to open their ancient source code to the community Developing user tools: - A http(s) browser that works with today's web pages (CSS3, HTML5, JS...) - Picture viewer/converter, like SEA DOS Viewer - Extend one of the existing network stacks with full IPv6 support - Create a FreeDOS installer that could be used on FreeDOS v1.2 - Interconnectivity tools (ie. 'how to transfer files between a FreeDOS box and another PC) - maybe a NFS browser, or even just a free equivalent of the old LapLink tool. Developing low-level drivers: - Drivers for modern, unsupported hardware (mostly Sound and networking) - for sound, a new API based on the VESA sound standatd could be nice for new apps - Wider/better/easier USB support - Implementing something better than FAT32 in the FreeDOS kernel, that supports journaling (ext3?)
