Being sick when a lot of school projects and stuff going on at work really makes me just wanna go straight to bed as soon as I get home. After 8 weeks of being sick, I think I'm better; no sore throat today. I have a simple question about POSIX.1e I saw the link to download the withdrawn draft. Is there actually a standard from IEEE that was accepted regarding this?

Yes, I would be very interesting in assisting with this as soon as the framework is set up to build upon. Do you know of any time-frame on this though? Summer is coming up in a few weeks for me and I wanted to get going on a personal project and working on FreeBSD, but TrustedBSD seems to be the area that I should focus on by reviewing the documentation I've seen about it. I look forward to contributing to this, and would enjoy starting on anything that you guys need help with. Well, starting in two weeks from now. Just let me know how I can contribute most effectively at this moment. Jon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
