There are two places to look: 1) The idea list, small and big ideas, there is a long list of projects for the kernel. see http://www.freebsd.org/projects/ideas/ 2) Problem Reports: PR's with status "s" suspended are remarked as: "The problem is not being worked on, due to lack of information or resources. This is a prime candidate for somebody who is looking for a project to do. If the problem cannot be solved at all, it will be closed, rather than suspended." Of course, you can always take a look at an open PR. http://www.freebsd.org/support/bugreports.html Cheers, Erik
