Unix-like operating systems. The difficulty ranges from medium to high.
An academic background in computer science is desirable but not essential.
-### Unix utilities
+### Port [stali](
http://sta.li) to use bionic
-Projects like [dmenu](
http://tools.suckless.org/dmenu) prove that it's possible
-to bring the Unix philosophy onto the desktop and into the land of graphical
-applications. We believe that there is big potential for doing similar things
-for other purposes such as managing contacts, bookmarks, browsing
-files/directories, reading/managing mails, organizing/viewing images/videos and
-listening to music, all in a very elegant and Unix-like way. We believe that such
-tools should have a GUI but communicate via standard I/O and be very flexible in
-the combination of their purposes.
+So far [static linux](
http://sta.li) requires [uclibc](
http://www.uclibc.org) for most userland
+tools and glibc for some exceptions. We'd like to replace the uclibc dependency
+with bionic from android.
-***Requirements:*** Good knowledge of the Unix userland, C and of the Xlib is essential.
+This project can be achieved on a tool by tool basis because it will require
+some code patching.
-### Port dwm to different platforms
+***Requirements:*** Good C/Unix knowledge is necessary.
-Many dwm users who have to use Microsoft Windows regularly have requested a
-port of dwm to Microsoft Windows. There are several tiling window managers, but
-unfortunately the majority are proprietary software and can't keep up with dwm.
+### Port [9base](
http://tools.suckless.org/9base) to use bionic
-Similarly we believe that porting dwm to Mac OS X, or onto mobile devices (with
-certain constraints) might create a new paradigm of future window management
-concepts in mainstream software.
+So far 9base uses the hosts C library. We'd like to replace the host libc
+dependency with bionic from android.
-There might also be the opportunity to make dwm itself more friendly with
-well-established desktop environments, to integrate well with Gnome or KDE in
-order to prove that dynamic and tiled window management should be the default
-in future window management concepts.
+This project can be extended to do the same in
+[plan9port](
http://swtch.com/plan9port/) by Russ Cox, if the progress is fast
+in achieving this.
-***Requirements:*** Good knowledge of the Xlib and C is desirable. Also good
-knowledge of the specific target platform, such as Cocoa/Quartz on Max OS X,
- resp. Win32 API on Windows would be desirable.
+***Requirements:*** Good C/Unix knowledge is essential.
-### ddm
+### Write ld wrapper or replacement for static linking
-There is no suckless display manager for X11 at the moment, thus a new
-dynamic display manager (ddm) should be designed and implemented.
+The GNU autotools such as automake and autoconf are completely unusable in
+non-chroot'ed cross-compile environments and often completely fail to produce
+statically linked libraries or executables. Also they are
+extremely slow and bloated.
-***Requirements:*** Good knowledge of the Xlib and C is desirable.
+The stali build system is not using autotools for good reason, however many
+Unix/Linux open source packages do. To create statically linked libraries out
+of the ld arguments we need an ld wrapper or re-implementation that creates
+static libraries or executables. This would enable us to build static libraries
+and executables out of any automake generated makefiles without the need to
+write make replacements or patching the build system of a particular package.
-### stm
+The ld wrapper needs to be extended to also link against uclibc first and if
+that fails to fallback to glibc, in order to produce smaller executables in the
+general case.
-There seems to be a need for a suckless ticket management system, as this
-is a common task in today's daily activity in business and private time
-management. This task includes the design and implementation of a suckless
-system that solves the problems of TTS (Trouble Ticket System), ARS (Action
-Request System) and IRS (Incident Response System) all together.
+***Requirements:*** Good C/Unix knowledge is essential, knowledge about linking/linker internals are desirable..
-***Requirements:*** Good knowledge of web technologies are essential, good knowledge of C is desirable.
+### goblin
-### Lightweight volume manager alternative
+Write the most useful unix userland commands in the new [Go
+language](
http://golang.org) created by Google to form a robust base for future
+Unix-like userlands that do not suffer from the vulnerabilities that are common
+in C or C++ code. The minimum of commands that need to be implemented in Go are
+those found in [9base](
http://tools.suckless.org/9base), with the exception of
+rc and awk which could be separated into a second project for another student.
-We'd like to see a lightweight and simple alternative to gnome-volume-manager
-and similar programs.
+Having goblin would allow to migrate decent web frameworks like
+[werc](
http://werc.cat-v.org) on a proper foundation.
-There's one such project already available at <
http://tools.suckless.org/skvm>.
+***Requirements:*** Good C/Unix and Go knowledge is essential.
-***Requirements:*** Good C knowledge and knowledge of DBUS and similar techniques are essential.
+### Write a decent bug and issue tracking system
-### Yet another less sucking editor
+We a need a decent ticket management system, as this is a common task in
+today's daily activity in business and private time management. This task
+includes the design and implementation of a suckless system that solves the
+problems of TTS (Trouble Ticket System), ARS (Action Request System) and IRS
+(Incident Response System) all together. It also must be usable as a bug
+tracking system.
-Although vi(m) does its job, it has become a monster over the years. We
-believe there is a gap between [ed](
http://man.cat-v.org/plan_9/1/ed), [sam](
http://sam.cat-v.org), [acme](
http://acme.cat-v.org) and vim which must be filled with
-a completely new, less-sucking editor.
-
-It has been [suggested](
http://lists.suckless.org/dev/0911/2255.html) that "...a curses interface for the sam protocol would be interesting and perhaps even useful..."
-
-***Requirements:*** Good C knowledge and knowledge of I/O APIs is essential.
-
-### Less sucking C99 subset spec
-
-Although sufficient, C99 is not a perfect programming language. It suffers from
-legacy syntax and semantics and lacks features that make designing libraries
-and developing abstractions much easier. To address these shortcomings the
-student should survey the problems of C, evaluate possible solutions and
-enhance the language as a subset of C99.
-
-***Requirements:*** Very good C knowledge is essential.
-
-### Modern libc
-
-The standard libc is full of awkward and legacy concepts. We believe that
-recent approaches such as Google's bionic libc are a step into the right
-direction, though not radical enough. We think there is a great opportunity to
-implement a completely new libc which abstracts a very nice standard
-environment which can be implemented on modern OS platforms in a straightforward manner.
-Our goal would be to realize an initial proposal on Linux.
-
-***Requirements:*** Very good C knowledge is essential.
-
-### Improve tcc
-
-We'd like to see [tcc](
http://bellard.org/tcc/) being continued and improved. gcc is too slow and too
-focused on language-agnostics and particularly focused on its C++ support. We
-have the impression that most open source software is written in C and makes no
-use of C++, so we desire an improved tcc.
-
-We are also concerned about recent attempts to implement the C front-end of gcc
-in C++. We believe that is a bad decision in general (due to demanding C++ as
-bootstrapping environment) and would like to get rid of the gcc dependency
-for these reasons.
-
-We'd like the improved tcc to be able to build all suckless projects
-and perhaps the modern libc replacement.
-
-***Requirements:*** Very good C knowledge is essential as well as knowledge of x86 assembler and executable formats.
-
-### Comprehensive code audit
-
-All software hosted at suckless.org should undergo a comprehensive
-code audit. This includes search for vulnerabilities, verification of
-all algorithms, proof-reading of the documentation and possibly a code
-clean-up. The result has to be a report on all found errors and maybe some
-advice for the project maintainers. This task requires experience in this
-field.
-
-***Requirements:*** Good C knowledge is essential.
-
-### Improve sltar
-
-[sltar](
http://s01.de/~gottox/index.cgi/proj_sltar) is a simplified tar
-implementation which lacks gzip and bzip2 integration. The task requires to
-extend sltar with these and to also write a test suite for it.
-
-***Requirements:*** Good C knowledge would be desirable.
+***Requirements:*** Good C/Shell/web technology/HTML5 knowledge would be desirable, knowledge of bug tracking and issue tracking in practice is essential.

knowledge for the helper tools would be desirable.
+
+### Write cookie handler for surf
+
+The biggest disadvantage of [surf](
http://surf.suckless.org) is sloppy
+cookie handling. libwebkit and libsoup (which are used for HTTP) were never
+designed to run in multiple processes simultaneously.
+
+This task requires writing a new cookie handler in surf which:
