Desired Hacks

Hacking DSL is for those with real programming skills. If you don't have such skills, you may try requesting a hack here.

Note: Such hacks are private and not part of DSL. If the developers like a hack, they may take it up on their own initiative.

Please use the following format to request hacks:


Requester's Logon : Hack Name : Date

  • Desired hack : GPL : sourceforge.net/projects/the-hack.
  • Desired modifications : GPL : sourceforge.net/projects/the-modification.

If you're helping out by making a hack someone else requested on this page, add your name and the status at the end of the line:


Requester's Logon : Hack Name : Date

  • Desired hack : GPL : sourceforge.net/projects/the-hack.
  • Desired modifications : GPL : sourceforge.net/projects/the-modification.
  • Joe (working on it. should be done within a few weeks.)

Write new requests at the top of the list. Make sure there is a space between your request and the one after it, otherwise they will both show up on the same line. If you've decided to accept a request, move that request below the unanswered requests, but above the other requests being worked on. Delete requests that appear in the repositories.

If you take on a request, but cannot complete it for some reason, move the request back to the top of this page. Please specify what you did, and what you had trouble with on the Talk Page. Any questions or comments that don't fit in this format should be asked or commented on the Talk Page.

  • Add Open SSI or OpenMosix clustering to DSL or DSL-Not. : GPL : sourceforge.net/projects/ssic-linux.
  • Add certificates of trust and CAPTCHA to the Terrence and Phillip protocol (tyd) for security purposes : GPL : sourceforge.net/projects/phpcaptchalite/ Do not release such a hack without thourougly checking out security issues!
  • Look into doing the same to the process of launching a new application.
  • While you're at it, look at adding CAPTCHA to the MyDSL process (i.e. make it hard to launch a MyDSL over the Net.)
