I'm looking for someone to help me out with FreeBSD/arm evangelizing.
I'd like to find someone that can help me to get the word out about
FreeBSD/arm. It now runs well on a number of different evaluation
boards. I'd like to start a push to get the vendors of these boards
to include a link on their web pages to our site, creating web pages
on our site with mini-howtos, etc.
If anyone would like to contribte to the project, has some time and
energy and good organizational skills, please contact me. I'd hoped
to perform these functions, but I'm finding that I'm not getting them
done.

John Baldwin just asked me why time_t is 32 bits on arm. Is there any
reason for it? Can we change it to 64 bits? Would this cause
problems for our users?

Well it's 32 bits because it's 32 bits on i386 too. But I guess if such a
change has to be done, now is a good time to do so, not sure if it can have
a negative impact on performances.

ironically, time_t isn't used in time critical applications. Sounds
like we should try it and see if there are any negative implications
to it...
