This uses the previously added scripts to convert the documentation to reStructuredText, which is both easier to read offline, and can be used to generate modern HTML for online documentation. No modification to the generated results have been done. Acked-by: Eric Engestrom <eric@engestrom.ch> Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/4630>

Help Wanted
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
We can always use more help with the Mesa project. Here are some
|
|
specific ideas and areas where help would be appreciated:
|
|
|
|
#. **Driver patching and testing.** Patches are often posted to the
|
|
`mesa-dev mailing
|
|
list <https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev>`__,
|
|
but aren't immediately checked into git because not enough people are
|
|
testing them. Just applying patches, testing and reporting back is
|
|
helpful.
|
|
#. **Driver debugging.** There are plenty of open bugs in the `bug
|
|
database <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues>`__.
|
|
#. **Remove aliasing warnings.** Enable gcc's
|
|
``-Wstrict-aliasing=2 -fstrict-aliasing`` arguments, and track down
|
|
aliasing issues in the code.
|
|
#. **Contribute more tests
|
|
to**\ `Piglit <https://piglit.freedesktop.org/>`__\ **.**
|
|
|
|
You can find some further To-do lists here:
|
|
|
|
**Common To-Do lists:**
|
|
|
|
- ```features.txt`` <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/blob/master/docs/features.txt>`__
|
|
- Status of OpenGL 3.x / 4.x features in Mesa.
|
|
|
|
**Legacy Driver specific To-Do lists:**
|
|
|
|
- ```r600g`` <https://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/R600ToDo>`__ - Driver
|
|
for ATI/AMD R600 - Northern Island.
|
|
- ```r300g`` <https://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/R300ToDo>`__ - Driver
|
|
for ATI R300 - R500.
|
|
|
|
If you want to do something new in Mesa, first join the Mesa developer's
|
|
mailing list. Then post a message to propose what you want to do, just
|
|
to make sure there's no issues.
|
|
|
|
Anyone is welcome to contribute code to the Mesa project. By doing so,
|
|
it's assumed that you agree to the code's licensing terms.
|
|
|
|
Finally:
|
|
|
|
#. Try to write high-quality code that follows the existing style.
|
|
#. Use uniform indentation, write comments, use meaningful identifiers,
|
|
etc.
|
|
#. Test your code thoroughly. Include test programs if appropriate.
