    A version of the TODO list for volunteers is scheduled to be
    reviewed/reformatted by brueffer after 6.0-RELEASE (and I already have
    several things I want to add to it after it's reviewed). I don't think he
    will mind if someone else with doc-Fu is willing to pull this item from his
    TODO list.

    My intend is to make the page available parallel to the SoC page, so every
    committer can modify it. I didn't do the work in the wiki, since the wiki
    has some kind of test-status. The wiki is also not visible from
    www.freebsd.org (linking to the wiki from internal/developer.html doesn't
    count here in my eyes), so listing nice TODO items there isn't the way to go
    for something which is suppoosed to lure people into producing shiny
    features.

    I've attached the version which is available to brueffer for review (the
    other items I want to add are spread as "idea snippets" over my mailbox
    folders somewhere). If someone is willing to take one of the items, the
    "Port DragonFly's IP checksum code" is done and will be committet (RSN, I
    think).

    Bye,
    Alexander.
