Here there's a mini list of things i would like to work on, tell me which one is available and fell free to add any other project you think could help the FreeBSD community in general. -the kernel memory allocator: if i remember correctly FreeBSD still uses a power-of-two algorithm, what do you think about a buddy-list algo, slab allocator or something new? -a fs with journaling: some times ago, i would like to develop my own fs with journaling, but right now i could even drop the dream of my own fs and JUST port the xfs/jfs for FreeBSD.. -kgi: is it dead or what? any ideas is welcome.... =) -- Paolo Italian FreeBSD User Group: http://www.gufi.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
