Having been on the freebsd-net mailing-list for about 6 months now (and freebsd-current more recently), I really want to make myself useful, and provide help in completing tasks on networking or wireless networking areas. I had been on the Networking Wikipage (this one : http://wiki.freebsd.org/Networking), which describes the current on-going tasks, I had been working over the last 2 weeks on rewriting some parts of netstat(1) (mainly the part dumping the routing table) to make it use sysctl rather than kvm. However after reading Mr.Gerzo's mail about the FreeBSD Status Reports from yesterday evening, which talked about libnetstat(), I'm starting to wonder whether whatever work I've done so far is actually worthwhile... I was thinking of getting some experience on board before volunteering for further work. There are a good few tasks mentionned on the Networking Wikipage that interest me a lot, so I'll just start working on something else if that work is no longer required for netstat :-). Please make me aware of any opportunities or tasks in which there is a need for more people, I'd be greatly honoured to provide help. -------------- Aman Jassal
