+Testing a large body of software like RTEMS is in a continual state of improvement.  There is always a need for more test cases and easier ways to run them all and decode the results.  In addition, we want to be  able to run all tests on as many hardware and simulator configurations as possible.  Testing doesn't sound exciting to most people but when you combine the breadth of what we need to test with our desire for 100% instruction and branch path coverage, you get some very interesting and challenging work.

-= Converting Projects To Tickets =
+= Old Project Descriptions =
 
-We have started converting each of the projects listed here to tickets. Any help in the process is appreciated.
+We used to describe open projects using a link to the project page and a short text description, but now we use tickets to describe open project ideas. Most of the projects that have interest from a mentor or the community have been converted. The remaining project descriptions in this section have not been converted yet, and may or may not be of interest. Please ask on the devel@rtems.org mailing list if you have interest in any of these projects. Project descriptions that are determined interesting to RTEMS Project should be converted to a Trac Ticket, while the descriptions deemed uninteresting should be moved to the Obsolete Projects section at the bottom of this page.
 
-Projects that have the 'strike-through' font have been moved to Trac Tickets.
