New ideas added to GSoC Ideas list

[Colin Finck]

Hi all!

Daniel and me collected some additional ideas for GSoC today, which I've
added to our Wiki Ideas list:
https://reactos.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2017_Ideas

In particular:
* Fundamental WiFi components
* USBXHCI driver for supporting USB 3.x controllers
* Bluetooth Stack
* WebKit-based MSHTML implementation

I'm open for comments and suggestions!
We can still add ideas until March 20, so let's give students a large
pool to draw from.

Cheers,

Colin

Victor thought also about adding registry hive healing.

Would GPT partitioning support for ReactOS be appropriate for GSoC?

Also, the ability to build or cross-build ReactOS and install directory to a FAT32
partition, mounted on a directory, without having to burn to CD and boot/install from
there: would that be appropriate?

i dont think anyone has any problems on downloading a 100MB ISO file....
but... what about any kind of minimal network install ISO file support?

That's basically our previous "make install", which can also be
supported through CMake.

See my add_rostests_file() function in CMakeMacros.cmake, which uses
CMake's install() function to realize it for rostests.
Someone just has to write a similar function that does add_cd_file() and
install() and can be used by all other modules. And then do the tedious
job of replacing all add_cd_file() calls by calls to this function in
all CMakeLists.txt files...

Feel free to do that :)
Or open a JIRA ticket.

Cheers,

Colin

Added that too together with Windows hive compatibility. Please check!

How about a better way to translate ros?
For example integrating .po files with our rc files (possibly needs a
preprocess step or something tho),
Or creating a resource editor that allows multiple files to be edited at once?

Does this mean it will be possible to build ReactOS and install to a USB stick so as to be
bootable?

Tom

[Peter Hater]

No.
This means that we won't have (much) BSODs and weird crashes when (dis)connecting usb
devices.
Booting from usb is (at least) blocked by CORE-10456.

Peter

Code review is open for everyone.
Go ahead at search for ((not so) obvious) bugs :)
CR-110/CR-111 maybe more.

Hi Javier,

 

Actually I don’t think you’ve found where these code reviews are taking place. They are
here:

https://code.reactos.org/cru/CR-109

https://code.reactos.org/cru/CR-110

https://code.reactos.org/cru/CR-111

and you can find there who’s currently reviewing them.

 

By what Alexander seems to say, the code changes seem to work quite well.

Vgal's changes were tested a lot by the Russian community. Huge regressions are
impossible. We have enough time before release (1 month and two days). I can't imagine
a better time for the merge.

 

 

We need the upcoming release to be great again!

already ongoing. If everything goes well, USB will become<br /> great again
soon.</blockquote><br /> Does this mean it will be possible to build ReactOS
and install to a USB stick so as to be bootable?<br /><br /> Tom<br

My response:

Rather difficult to read your message, but I was hoping for something I could install live
to USB, since I have no non-GPT SATA hard-disk space.

I have an old hard drive, IDE, 1271 MB, but with no IDE on motherboard, would have to put
that hard drive in a Sabrent enclosure (it's already there) and access by USB 2.0.

So I have put off any testing of ReactOS to the distant future, am busy with Linux,
FreeBSD, NetBSD and Haiku.
