We have lots of stuff. What do you like to work on? Do you want to work
on chelsio related items (cxgb3i/cxgb4i) or anything? Do you prefer
kernel work or userspace work? Do you like working on performance
related stuff (kill some locking in the kernel code, improve IO paths,
make structs per cpu, etc), or cleanup type of stuff, or do you want to
add some smaller features that users have been asking for (improved
logging support in the tools, make iscsiadm -m session -P 3 display more
info, etc) or do you like management/libs/tools type of stuff?

Hi,

Kindly note,

This is not related to Chelsio in anyway and it is something I am
interested in doing in my free time. I would also not like to work on
anything related to any vendor.

I would like to work on kernel related stuff. For now, I would like to
start by improving whats already there. Anything is fine.

Thank you,
Vivek S

Ok, I will write up some items that you might find interesting and send
them to the list.

Thank you.

I was also thinking on the lines of writing a ToDo document that has a list of pending items, enhancements and features that need to be implemented. This saves a lot of time for people who want to contribute. They can quickly pick up things that they are interested in by reading the document. We can pool things that are pending at one place and I am ready write the document.

Do you mean you have stuff in mind already? If so start writing. We can
combine what we have then.

No. I meant, we can come up with a ToDo document which can help people like me who want to contribute. Instead of posting to the mailing list, he/she can look up the document and start contributing.

Hello

Even I am interested in contributing towards open-iscsi project and would like to work on kernel related stuff.
Agree to the point that a TODO list will be good for people like us.

Thanks
Jose
