 **DMA mapping work continues**.  I'm reworking things from all sides hmalloc, dma_mapping, and b44.  Hopefully it will converge soon :-).
-Next steps:
+==== Sun 27 Jul ====
-  * [GDB] Add sample GDB session to wiki and explain commands
+**The Roundup issue tracker** is close to ready.  Mdc and I have spent some time setting up the [[http://roundup.sf.net/|Roundup issue tracker]] to improve our grasp on patches and bugs.
-  * [DMA] DMA pool API so drivers can reserve DMA buffers on ''open()''.
-  * [b44] Cleanup, testing, performance.
+Currently we suffer the problem that patches are easily forgotten on the mailing list if the developers are busy.  An issue tracker provides a better overview of outstanding patches that need to be reviewed.
-  * [shutdown] Remove gPXE allocated memory and free up PXE+UNDI, if necessary.
-  * [bzImage] Expand the heap size to the full 64K segment when loading a bzImage kernel with version 2.02 or higher.
+Bug reports are also streamlined by the new system.  This will be especially useful in the coming months as Etherboot.org becomes more visible and new users try it.
-  * [GDB] Real-mode remote debugging.
+===== Next week =====
+On to [[.:week10|Week 10]].
