If you miss your > project please sent the name of the project and the URL to > www@freebsd.org or to me. i really appreciate the effort in constructing this list. However, there are huge differences among the projects in this list. Some are well established and have working and supported piece of code (PAO, SMP, some multimedia stuff), some are in development, some other look more like a wishlist and have been around for years without any progress at all (in this category may mention ports to Alpha and Sparc, Token Ring, maybe also documentation, and some of the hacks available from my web page) In order to avoid confusion, i suggest to classify items depending on their status (and the availability of working code or a clean patch for 2.2.X or 3.0 is a useful metric that should not offend anyone). cheers luigi -----------------------------+-------------------------------------- Luigi Rizzo | Dip. di Ingegneria dell'Informazione email: luigi@iet.unipi.it | Universita' di Pisa tel: +39-50-568533 | via Diotisalvi 2, 56126 PISA (Italy) fax: +39-50-568522 | http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ _____________________________|______________________________________ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
