*See [[Mesh/Firmware]] for the current status of the firmware we'll be running on the mesh. We've mostly migrated our technical to-do list to [https://github.com/sudomesh/sudowrt-firmware/milestones github milestones], but some more broad technical needs include:
** Secure and distributed remote update system.
**UI/UX Design
** Integrating the watchdog
**Graphic Design
** Correctly route from nodes that have mesh connectivity but not internet connectivity to the internet. (Juul's working on this as of 2014 May 27)
**Web Development
** Automatically lower signal strength in crowded areas (Deekoo's working on this as of 2014 May 27)
**OpenWRT development/hacking
**There's lots to do for people with all sorts of technical expertise, including: UI/UX Design, Graphic Design, Web Development, OpenWRT development/hacking, distributed network setup/administration, etc. Chances are, if you're interested in contributing to the firmware project and have the time and energy to get up to speed, there will be somewhere you can help out a lot!
