+<b>Driver patching and testing.</b>
+Patches are often posted to the mesa3d-dev mailing list, but aren't
+immediately checked into git because not enough people are testing them.
+Just applying patches, testing and reporting back is helpful.
+<li>
+<b>Driver debugging.</b>
+There are plenty of open bugs in the bug database.

+Drivers such as DOS/DJGPP, GGI, etc that aren't being maintained are being
+deprecated starting in Mesa 7.3.
