BlueTooth Manager GUI This project would be to develop a QT4 based GUI, which acts as a front-end to the FreeBSD BlueTooth configurations, such as /etc/bluetooth/hcsecd.conf
Dial-Up Tethering GUI This project would be to develop a QT4 based GUI, which acts as a front-end to the ppp.conf file, and allow dial-up / tethering configurations to be done graphically.
[edit] Getting Involved

[edit] PC-BSD® 9.0 Snapshots
Every few weeks or so, we are releasing updated "snapshots" of PC-BSD® 9, based upon the latest FreeBSD 9-CURRENT. The technical minded, or simply the brave are welcome to download and test these releases.
[edit] Getting the Snapshots
The current snapshots are available for download from the PC-BSD® FTP server:
ftp://ftp.pcbsd.org/pub/snapshots
The snapshots are available in several different formats, in order to make it easier to find a fit for you.
DVD - This is the preferred method of installation. This file contains PC-BSD® / FreeBSD and all the various window-managers for 9, which you can pick from during the install.
CD - This is a slimmed down release which includes PC-BSD® and the LXDE window manager ONLY. Post-installation it is possible to install other WM's, but they are not included on the CD media and must be installed via the net.
DVDLIVE - This is a LIVE version of PC-BSD® which includes KDE4
Bootonly - This is a boot-only version of the PC-BSD® installation, which will allow installing via the internet or local network.
USBFULL - This is the USB version of the full DVD image.
USBLITE - This is the USB version of the CD image.
USBLIVE - This is the USB version of the DVD-Live image.
USB Bootonly - This is the USB version of the Bootonly CD image.
[edit] Network / Internet installation
Snapshots are currently only available from the PC-BSD® FTP server, and not our mirrors. If you wish to do a network installation of a snapshot, you will need to specify the URL manually, such as:
Server: ftp.pcbsd.org
Directory: /pub/snapshots/9-CURRENT-20110414/amd64/netinstall
(Replace the 20110414 with the current snapshot date, and amd64 with i386 if necessary)
[edit] Reporting Bugs
It is very important to report bugs found in the snapshots, so that there is time to fix them before we get closer to BETA/RC status. Equally important is reporting the bugs to the correct location. The first thing to determine is what type of bug is this? Is it a bug with something specific in FreeBSD? Is this a window-manager bug? Is this a bug in PC-BSD® related tools or configuration?
Once you have determined the type of bug, feel free to use the links below to assist in reporting it.
