OnBoard Suite Task Lists |
| OnBoard C tasks | OnBoard Asm tasks | SrcEdit tasks | Sherpa tasks | Documentation tasks |
Here is the list of tasks (both prioritized and grab-bag tasks) for the OnBoard C and SrcEdit projects. For a description of how these lists got like this and how to change them, check out the OnBoard C Development Charter. If you would like to propose a patch or request to be the point-of-contact (lead patcher) for a task that you see on one of the lists, the best way to do it is to send a post to that effect on the onboardc-project mail list. |

Priority Explanation |
This is a general guideline for the priorities assigned to the various bugs and features in this list. The priority of a particular task may be higher or lower than that shown below due to a vote by the OnBoard Suite developers. |
| Priority | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 9 (highest) | Resets or data loss as the result of normal use. (e.g., Punch "GO" and the BBQ begins!) |
| 8 | Otherwise harmless UI quirks with no workarounds. (e.g., Punching "GO" activates backlight and compiler does not start.) -OR- Memory leaks totaling < 500 bytes from running suite component in normal use. |
| 7 | Bad output level 4: Without complaint, OBC munges 100% silken "clean" code such that resulting prc will cause resets or data loss - even if there is a reasonable workaround. |
| 6 | Bad output level 3: OBC refuses to compile or munges "clean" code - no reasonable workarounds. No resets from resulting prc. |
| 5 | Potentially harmful OBC UI quirks which in rare instances may cause resets or data loss - with workarounds. (e.g., OBC soft resets device on "GO", but only if "rebuild" and "execute" checkboxes are marked and source was just copied off storage card.) -OR- Running OBC suite creates memory leaks totaling < 500 bytes in rare instances. |
| 4 | Bad output level 2: OBC refuses to compile or munges "clean" code, but there are reasonable workarounds. No resets from resulting prc. |
| 3 | Bad output level 1: OBC munges wildly irresponsible code - or - OBC doesn't catch or misattributes errors in obviously bad code. - Resets or no from resulting prc. |
| 2 | Messed up but harmless OBC UI quirk with workarounds. (e.g., Checkbox marks only after punched twice.) |
| 1 (lowest) | Amusing OBC UI quirk. (e.g., Misspelling in About dialog box.) |
