META: Coordination

[jbenet]

Will be using this issue to track rough TODOs and general coordination.

• Issue Board: https://waffle.io/jbenet/go-ipfs
• Super high-level TODOs: https://github.com/jbenet/go-ipfs/blob/master/dev.md
• #ipfs on freenode for more conversation / discussion

Below, i'll list rough things to get done, with related people.

[jbenet]

In next couple days:

• address CR + merge Ipns name resolution #45 - ipns. @whyrusleeping @jbenet
• address CR + merge serve command (http api) #24 - ipfs serve http. @verokarhu @jbenet
• connect webui to API @mappum @jbenet
• address Conn securing error: Malformed public key. #135 @jbenet
• DHT test taking too long #134 (help wanted)
• convert u.DOut -> log.____. @jbenet
• clean up all output @jbenet
• polish command interface @jbenet
• abstract DHT interface + remove levels @jbenet
• updates Checking for updates #31 @dborzov @jbenet

[whyrusleeping]

Looks good, one other thing to consider is garbage collection of data in the local datastore. it can easily get bloated.

[jbenet]

this is getting closer.

@whyrusleeping did you still see issues connecting to other nodes? wondering whether to sink again into dht stuff, abstracting + removing levels.

@mappum how's the command interface? what on this is blocking connection to webui?

[whyrusleeping]

I think abstracting out the levels will help a good deal.

[mappum]

Command interface is coming along nicely, I'll likely have a PR ready tomorrow. The webui just depends on the HTTP transport, which won't be a huge amount of work.

[jbenet]

Here are the new set of things TODO:

• DHT: keep debugging things with @whyrusleeping's awesome dhtHell.
• DHT: cleanup / refactor / abstract out things. DHT Refactoring #160 @whyrusleeping , @jbenet
• debug simult open + cleanup conn panic in net/swarm/conn.go:154 was triggered #174, Algorithm for concurrent connection resolution #182 @jbenet
• Protocol versioning in handshake Version check in/after handshake #166, Version handshake #180 @cryptix
• Updating: Update warning #30, ipfs update command #169, IPFS auto-updating #170 (help wanted) @cryptix
• Tour: ipfs tour #171, ipfs tour #213 (@jbenet, help wanted)
• Pinning: ipfs pin #172 @whyrusleeping
• Cmd interface, CLI, HTTP, Command Interface #150 @mappum
• logging Enabling logging #152, Improve logging #179 @cryptix
• plumbing commands described in Ipfs Raw Block Commands #138
• webui (needs http interface)
• setup a 10 node test net
• make readmes, etc.

After these land, we'll have a working alpha :)

[jbenet]

Wow, this is such a real reminder of how long software takes to build. sigh.

Anyway, as an update, we're now focused on these tasks, remaining for a useful alpha: https://github.com/jbenet/go-ipfs/milestones/%CE%B1
