-General discussion and support
-------------------------------
-
-For general discussion of Ouroboros,
-[subscribe](https://www.freelists.org/list/ouroboros) to our mailing
-list: [ouroboros@freelists.org](mailto:ouroboros@freelists.org).
-
-For day-to-day discussions, join our IRC chat:
-[\#ouroboros](irc://irc.freenode.net/ouroboros).

-Contact us on twitter: @ODecentralize
-
-Contributing code
------------------
-
-Contributions should be sent as patches to the mailing list, using your
-real name and real e-mail address.
-
-The git repository contains three branches:
-
-- master: Contains the most stable version of Ouroboros.
-- testing: Contains tested code but may still contain bugs.
-- be: Contains untested but compiling code.
-
-New development is done against the 'be' branch of the git repository.
-The testing and master branches take only bugfixes.
-
-Bug reporting
--------------
-
-Please report all bugs [here](/bugzilla). When reporting a bug, please
-do the following:
-
-1. Provide a description of the bug. How did you get it and which
- version of Ouroboros were you using? Which Operating System are you
- on?
-2. Provide as much technical information as possible (system logs,
- debug traces, \...).
-3. If possible, provide a minimal code example to reproduce the bug.
-4. If you can provide a bugfix, provide it against the HEAD of the most
- stable branch where the bug is present and send the patch to the
- mailing list.

-Todo list
----------
-
-We are currently looking for
-
-- Testing and bugfixing.
-- Integration testing for the build system beyond the "make check"
- unit tests.
-- People that are interested in setting up some nodes to establish a
- global testing layer.
-- Non-blocking flow allocation: Allow specifying a {0, 0} timespec to
- return immediately and use fevent() to know when the flow is ready
- (or allocation failed).
-- Asynchronous IPC over the UNIX sockets. For each command to the
- IRMd, we create a UNIX socket, send the request and wait for the
- response. This could be changed so that there is only a single UNIX
- socket that is used for all messaging. This would simplify parallel
- querying of the IPCPs and speed up flow allocation. The far-future
- option is to ditch UNIX sockets and bootstrap Ouroboros local IPC
- over itself.
-- ECDH-AES encryption using libssl and/or libgcrypt. The goal is to
- support both libraries so that we have a fallback should major bugs
- be discovered in one of them.
-- Customized packet serialization to remove the dependency on Google
- Protocol Buffers. We like GPB, but it's not perfect. Importing
- .proto files may give rise to multiple definitions and we found no
- way to solve that.
-- Caching for the DHT.
-- Cross-compilation to OpenWRT (musl).
-- Ported applications! If you want to add native Ouroboros support for
- your applications, just let us know and we will help you out!
