+ <h2 id="tasks">Work to do for the next stable release of libreboot (<a href="#tasks">#tasks</a>):</h2>
+ <p>
+ Get in GNU. See <a href="../gnu/">../gnu/</a>. PaulK is working on the build system changes,
+ we still need to finish transitioning over to Texinfo for the documentation.
+ <strong>Becoming part of GNU is a #1 priority for the libreboot project.</strong>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Fix uneven backlight levels when turning brightness down on all thinkpads.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Fix broken suspend on GM45 thinkpads (regression in coreboot. Will require bisect. It works in libreboot 20150518).
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Make sure that the KCMA-D8 and KGPE-D16 ports are stable. Make sure generally that all boards work properly and are stable.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Make sure that keyboard initialization works in GRUB on the X60/T60. This was an observed issue a while ago,
+ and might still exist in upstream coreboot. (USB keyboards work)
+ </p>
+ <h2>OPTIONAL (but very desirable) work to do before the next release of libreboot, if possible:</h2>
+ <p>
+ OPTIONAL (but desirable): fix broken text-mode graphics initialization on GM45 laptops
+ (framebuffer mode works. Lack of text-mode means that memtest86+ is not usable easily).
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ OPTIONAL (but desirable): fix screen compatibility issues on some GM45 thinkpads
+ (see <a href="http://libreboot.org/docs/hcl/gm45_lcd.html">this page</a>)
+ and some T60 laptops (see <a href="../docs/future/index.html#lcd_i945_incompatibility,future/index.html#lcd_i945_incompatibility">this page</a>).
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ OPTIONAL (but desirable): fix VRAM size on X60/T60/Macbook2,1. This is a longstanding issue. It's currently only 8MiB,
+ but the hardware is capable of using 64MiB.
+ See <a href="../docs/future/index.html#i945_vram_size,future/index.html#i945_vram_size">this page</a>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ OPTIONAL (but desirable): re-write ich9gen/ich9deblob to be portable. It currently assumes endiannesses, uses bitfields, etc.
+ It's not portable at all, but works on x86 and little-endian ARM in most cases.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ DUBIOUSLY OPTIONAL (actually probably required, and very desirable): Get more RK3288 and Tegra chromebooks supported.
+ PaulK is interested in this, and needs funding to get the hardware. PaulK's contact details can be
+ found in the <a href="../contrib/">contrib</a> page.
+ This could take months though, so probably won't be done before the next release.
+ </p>
