<TITLE>Moving onto 0.3 with networking</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">As one of our main features for 0.3, we can't progress out of the 0.2.* releases until it is either complete, or the goalposts are moved.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">With nobody working on networking at the moment, 0.2.8 seems likely and I'm starting to wonder how far into the 0.2.* releases we are going to go.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Also, at what stage will the network model be enough to satisfy a 0.3 release? </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Does this just mean stable, basic TCP/IP with basic ws2_32 support? </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">How many drivers need to be supported?</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">What about service providers for ws2_32.dll (Mswsock.dll is stubbed apart from TransmitFile, and Wshtcpip.dll is non existent)</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">What about NDIS?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Change in circumstances has just released most of my evenings now, however although I'm starting to work on networking apps, and hopefully soon User Mode code, my coding skills and windows knowledge are not yet up to a level where I can tackle the more in-depth stuff, especially kernel mode (eek)</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Does any one plan to, or is anyone going to volunteer to take up networking?</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I would be more than happy to throw all my spare time into helping them in any way possible.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">If we glean some information from this email, I can start to document it in the wiki (we don't have much networking documentation in there at the moment)</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Regards,</FONT>
