libdispatch on Darwin is a combination of logic in the `xnu` kernel alongside the user-space Library. The kernel has the most information available to balance workload across the entire system. As a first step, however, we believe it is useful to bring up the basic functionality of the library using user-space pthread primitives on Linux. Eventually, a Linux kernel module could be developed to support more informed thread scheduling.

## Project Goals
## Project Status

We are currently early in the development of this project. We began with a mirror of the open source drop that corresponds with OS X El Capitan (10.11) and have ported it to x86_64 Ubuntu 14.04 and 15.10. The next steps are:
A port of libdispatch to Linux has been completed. On Linux, since Swift 3, swift-corelibs-libdispatch has been included in all Swift releases and is used by other swift-corelibs projects.

1. Complete the work to adopt libdispatch in other Core Libraries projects, especially Foundation. This will validate our work and get immediate test coverage on basic functionality of the Swift API.
2. Include libdispatch and libdispatch-enabled Core Libraries in the Swift CI environment and the pre-built Swift toolchains at Swift.org.
3. Develop a test suite for the Swift APIs of libdispatch.
4. Enhance libdispatch as needed to support Swift language evolution and the needs of the other Core Libraries projects.
Opportunities to contribute and on-going work include:

1. Develop a test suite for the Swift APIs of libdispatch.
2. Enhance libdispatch as needed to support Swift language evolution and the needs of the other Core Libraries projects.
