What is meant by "AML reference"? I expanded the AML article a bit a while back but it is unclear exactly how much detail the requestor wants on this. Certainly we will not provide a reference of every AML command as they are freely available in the linked ACPI specification and doing so would be akin to documenting every x86/arm/mips etc machine code instruction when there are already references available elsewhere. Unless a more specific request is made I suggest we remove this request. [[User:Jnc100|John]] 06:07, 5 July 2012 (CDT) |

Bounties
I was thinking it would be good if we could post bounties on the wish list - money we offer for someone to create or complete an article or sections of an article. We could also do another Wiki prize pool - e.g. top editor for the month gets an OSDev book of their choice. I would be more than happy to help contribute towards the prize. --MessiahAndrw 19:51, 20 May 2012 (CDT)
EFI/UEFI
I bumped EFI up to the "high priority" list. Apparently Intel have stated that all firmware for "sandy bridge" chipsets must use UEFI, and motherboard manufacturers are switching fast. It'd be sad if hobbyist OS developers failed to make the transition to EFI and suffer the same fate as the BIOS. Brendan 08:33, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
Filesystems Galore
Do we need to have all the Unknown filesystems in the sidebar. I can imagine UDF on the wishlist, but Ext4 and the flash filesystems don't really need a page of their own - they are way beyond what is necessary. Would it be a good idea if we move Ext4 and the flash filesystems to low priority (and remove them from the template). UDF and Ext3 can stay where they are since these are much more useful IMO. - Combuster 21:07, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
Completed Items
I posted an ATA driver as requested in the Urgent section, and I created an x86 Memory Map as reqested in the Less Urgent section. Removed both items from the wishlist. - Bewing 21:58, 14 May 2008 (CDT)
Scrapped items
tutorial on parsing ASCII configuration file, in assembly and C (.INI format, etc.)
- Is this really related to OSDev? And surely after you've got the file open, any semi-competent programmer could somehow stumble through finding a value anyway. Jackscott 08:54, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
- Agreed and scrapped - Off topic on an OS development forum. If you need that, you IMO shouldn't be here taking this subject. - Combuster 12:17, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
AML
What is meant by "AML reference"? I expanded the AML article a bit a while back but it is unclear exactly how much detail the requestor wants on this. Certainly we will not provide a reference of every AML command as they are freely available in the linked ACPI specification and doing so would be akin to documenting every x86/arm/mips etc machine code instruction when there are already references available elsewhere. Unless a more specific request is made I suggest we remove this request. John 06:07, 5 July 2012 (CDT)
