<H1>Help Wanted</H1>
<p>
We can always use more help with the Mesa project. Here are some
specific areas. If you think you can help out, post to the mesa3d-dev
mailing list.
</p>
<ul>
<li>Windows 98/NT build/driver maintenance and testing (Karl Schultz has been
doing a great job of this lately)
<li>DOS/DJGPP build/driver maintenance and testing
<li>GGI driver/build maintenance and testing
<li>GNU autoconfig/libtool maintenance (esp. on non-Linux systems)
<li>x86, SSE, 3DNow! and SPARC assembly language programming
<li>Implement WGL font functions in the WGL interface code
<li>Implement off-screen bitmap rendering support in the WGL interface code
<li>Help with writing/testing the new NV_fragment_program extension code
<li>Implement the ARB_vertex/fragment extensions
<li>Download/compile/test Mesa and report any bugs found
</ul>
<p>
If you want to help with Mesa, first join the Mesa developer's
mailing list. Then post a message explaining what you might like
to help with. The Mesa web page has a list of a few work items
which you may consider.
</p>
</p>
Anyone is welcome to contribute code to the Mesa project, provided you
agree to the copyright terms of the relevant code. See the COPYRIGHT
file.
</p>
<p>
Unfortunately, all the easy work in Mesa was done years ago. Nowadays, the
work is rather complicated and not suited to beginners.
</p>
<p>
If you're contribution code to the Mesa library itself:
<p>
<ol>
<li>Try to write clean code (uniform indentation, comments, meaningful
identifiers, etc). It must be readable and maintainable!
<li>Test your code. On several occations I've incorporated code from
users which later turned out to have bugs. Now, I'm pretty hesitant
to use code which doesn't look good.
</ol>
