OS initial testing/bootstrapping build a bootable LFS-style system from source packaging (of BusyBox, Linux, GCC, GNU Make, EGLIBC, opkg, etc.) for deployment, need package archive and build daemon design decisions: debhelper or similar? handling package configurations for different hardware? installer design decisions: userspace application to run on separate PC? interface: curses, GTK+? development tools scripts to help in packaging and uploading source packages example application (if there's time) StatusNet? package PHP (ouch), MySQL server, nginx, and StatusNet stereo system? package MPD and some client(s) therefor project infrastructure communication (necessary only as more people join) mailing lists (Exim 4 + GNU Mailman + some HTML archiver) IRC channels (just register with PDPC to use Freenode) bug tracker (necessary only as OS becomes complete) probably MantisBT or debbugs public wiki? or accept commits to Web site repository? Web site generated static HTML or semi-static SSI package archive archive management scripts probably reprepro or mini-dak Web package database + package tracking system build daemon plus a (Web-based? and e-mail-based) reporting interface package repositories (for development, not deployment) Git Gitosis cgit documentation and policies technical details of OS (how it works, how to use it) organizational details of project (how to find stuff, how to do work) packaging policies (control files, copyright files, patch headers) legal details for hardware vendors (less work for Bradley Kuhn?)
