== Specific List ==
# Report bugs!
 
# Submit fixes on Github for code and javadoc errors
The follow tasks are fairly specific and can be done without requiring major changes to the library:
# Write code for using BoofCV in [http://www.processing.org/ Processing]
 
# Clean up its Maven build
 
# Continuous integration using [https://www.atlassian.com/software/bamboo Bamboo]
# Write about BoofCV!
# [[Validation:Algorithms |Validate the correctness of algorithms]]
## BoofCV is very new and not well know, so post about it on your blog/twitter/bathroom wall/tattoo
# Image segmentation algorithms
## If you use BoofCV in your project link back to this webpage to improve its page rank on search engines
# Clean up the Wiki
# [[Android_support|Android support]]
## Identify incompatibilities with Android's API
## Help come up with solutions
## Create Android examples
# Improve Wiki and Documentation
## Create a wiki account by clicking on the left
## After the account has been approved edit away
## Approval is required to counter act all the spam bots
# Wavelets
# Wavelets
## Arbitrary length Coiflet coefficients
## Arbitrary length Coiflet coefficients
Line 23: Line 15:
## Verify that Biorthogonal Daub is buggy and fix
## Verify that Biorthogonal Daub is buggy and fix
## Don't add any addition jar file requires for wavelet tasks
## Don't add any addition jar file requires for wavelet tasks
# Corner detectors
## Add option to process image border in SSD feature detectors
# See in code comments for improving Canny edge's speed
== Non-Coding Tasks ==
Non-coding tasks can be done by just about anyone.  Typically these involve updating documentation and reporting problems.  Design changes should be suggested to the message board.
# Reporting bugs as they are found.
# Fixing spelling and grammar errors on the wiki.
# Checking links on the wiki.
# Adding tutorials to the wiki.
# Quality control on JavaDOC.
# Suggesting ways to improve the API.
# Suggesting ways to improve the API.
 
# Runtime regression tests
== Coding Tasks ==
 
There is plenty of room for improvement left in BoofCV.  If you which to donate code or tweak the existing code you should sign up on the BoofCV message board (see the [[main page]] for a link) and join the discussion. An important part of BoofCV is validating the correctness of the library.  Making sure that each piece of code does what it says it does or that it is a correct implementation of the algorithm cited requires time and many eyes. 
 
# Fixing bugs which have been reported.
# Adding unit tests.
# Adding system level tests.
# Implementing new algorithms.
# Validating the correctness of algorithms and implementations.
# Improve demo [[List of Applets|Applets]].
