This page shows the candidate students and their projects for the Haiku Code Drive 2008:
Salvatore Benedetto Project: BFS stress-testing, UDF port to new FS Haiku API
Mentor: Axel Dörfler
The aim of this project is quite different from the others. Instead of proposing to add a new feature, I'd like to work on something R1 related, like making sure that BFS is *STABLE*. Since I'm almost done with Dominic's book about BFS, what I have in mind is to run some tests to stress all the aspects of Haiku's BFS implementation and see where it fails in order to fix the problem and bring the file system a step closer to being stable.

The Haiku project believes that having one distribution (the one officially released by the project) is the best long term strategy to ensure success of the platform. Therefore anyone considering creating a new distribution should think long and hard before doing so. The project is very interested in working with anyone who feels they need a new distribution to add what they need to Haiku itself. Haiku distributions must comply to the following set of guidelines.
