Patches are often posted to the <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev" target="_parent">mesa-dev mailing list</a>, but aren't
immediately checked into git because not enough people are testing them.
Just applying patches, testing and reporting back is helpful.

<b>Driver debugging.</b>
There are plenty of open bugs in the bug database.

<li>
<b>Remove aliasing warnings.</b>
Enable gcc -Wstrict-aliasing=2 -fstrict-aliasing and track down aliasing
issues in the code.
<li>
<b>Windows driver building, testing and maintenance.</b>
The Visual Studio project files aren't always updated in a timely manner
when new source files are added or old ones are removed.
Fixing these tends to delay new Mesa releases.
Fixing MSVC builds.
<li>
<b>Maintenance and testing of lesser-used drivers.</b>
Drivers such as DOS/DJGPP, GGI, etc that aren't being maintained are being
deprecated starting in Mesa 7.3.
Drivers such as i810, mach64, mga, r128, savage, sis, tdfx, unichrome, etc that aren't being maintained are being
deprecated starting in Mesa 8.0.<br>
They have to be ported to DRI2 to be accepted in mesa master again.

<b>Contribute more tests to
<a href="http://glean.sourceforge.net/" target="_parent">glean</a>.</b>
<a href="http://people.freedesktop.org/~nh/piglit/" target="_parent">Piglit</a>.</b>
<li>
<b>Automatic testing.
</b>
It would be great if someone would set up an automated system for grabbing
the latest Mesa code and run tests (such as glean) then report issues to
the latest Mesa code and run tests (such as piglit) then report issues to
the mailing list.
