Thanks for the interest. Are you planning to do this as a side
project, or as a GSoC or EVoC ?

While I'm not the person who wrote the task, I would assume that the
intent is to write piglit tests [1], so that one can test Mesa (and
other) GL implementations against it.

Namely grab a GL extension, go through the spec and write tests which
flex both the functionality and API compliance. For an example of what
tests look like skim though the git repo (commit log) [2] [3].

Obviously you'll would target GL extensions which your hardware/driver supports.

Cheers,
Emil
