+<ul>
+ <li>
+ Make libreboot GNU-compatible (see libreboot.org/gnu)
+ </li><li>
+ Fix keyboard init on x60/t60 (right now delay isn't long enough. might be fixed upstream)
+ </li><li>
+ Make KGPE-D16, KCMA-D8, GA-G41M-ES2L and D510MO use latest coreboot revision
+ </li><li>
+ Make all other boards use the same coreboot revision
+ </li><li>
+ In coreboot download script, reset to a "master" revision (all other revisions
+ used are at or before this revision). Then use 1 version of coreboot's GCC toolchain,
+ from the master revision, and use that to compile all boards
+ </li><li>
+ Don't copy coreboot directories per board. Copy them per revision (try
+ to always use 1 revision for all boards). When doing build module coreboot,
+ do git-init for each revision and for boards using that revision, create
+ branches with the patches for that board. checkout each branch for each board.
+ When doing build clean coreboot, just switch the coreboot directories back
+ to master and delete .git. Note that this is a new .git, not coreboot's .git.
+ </li><li>
+ LOok at configs of KGPE-D16 and KCMA-D8. There were boot delays caused by it
+ last time I asked tpearson to test ROM images. Fix any issues
+ </li><li>
+ GM45 laptops in libreboot.git currently have uneven backlight at lower levels.
+ This was fixed but patch was removed due to upstream changes, with intent to
+ re-implement fix on top of upstream later. Do that.
+ </li><li>
+ Make sure the RTC bug on thinkpads is fixed, and write instructions for
+ how to recover for those who were affected (fix includes not just using
+ newer version of coreboot in libreboot, where fix is upstreamed, but if
+ a person was affected, they need to modify some values in NVRAM - the
+ century byte, specifically, changing it back to 0x20.
+ </li><li>
+ general polishing of the docs - re-order some sections, make it easier for novices to read
+ </li><li>
+ some boards don't have adequate installation instructions (most server/desktop boards). fix that
+ </li><li>
+ use the timeless branch from coreboot (rebase for different revisions). we don't need timestamps.
+ this is needed for reproducible builds (reproducible builds are for later release, not next release).
+ See <a href="https://review.coreboot.org/#/c/13412/">https://review.coreboot.org/#/c/13412/</a>
+ and <a href="https://review.coreboot.org/#/q/topic:timeless">https://review.coreboot.org/#/q/topic:timeless</a>
+ </li><li>
+ (probably won't be done before release) have tpearson look into boot delays on d8/d16/dre, and USB issues
+ on dre)
+ </li><li>
+ </li><li>
+ (probably won't be done before release) have damo22 look into vesa framebuffer graphics on d510mo (right
+ now only text mode works, including in GNU/Linux)
+ </li><li>
+ GuixSD /boot/ FDE full disk encryption guide.
+ </li><li>
+ fix up R500 port (if not ready before wanting to release, just remove R500 before release)
+ </li><li>
+ add W500 (probably won't be done before release, but a user did report that it does work
+ with T500 ROM images iirc)
+ </li><li>
+ fix up screen compatibility issues on t400/t500 (francis has a 1440x900 T400 and 1920x1200 T500 to test on)
+ </li><li>
+ merge patch for sinkhole on x60 (probably already merged upstream in coreboot)
+ </li><li>
+ get patrickg to fix sinkhole on gm45 (send that person an X200)
+ </li><li>
+ (not for release, just putting it here). SHA1 was apparently broken. This has implications for git.
+ Context:
+ <a href="http://lwn.net/Articles/132513/">this post</a> and
+ <a href="https://eprint.iacr.org/2015/967">this page</a>
+ - maybe reproducibly tar up the downloaded git repositories that libreboot uses,
+ and check sha512 hashes (maybe stronger hash, or even multiple hashes) - also
+ start GPG signing your commits. maintain offline file hashes of repositories
