I don't think there's the possibility for me to start a new port myself, since I just don't have the ability. Let's hope "not yet, but soon". I did code 68000-assembler back in my Atari ST days (and GFA-Basic, if someone remembers that ;) and I learned some Java and Python (very little), but I would be really interested in coding C. The best way in my eyes is to actually work in a real project. I know this may be the wrong question to the wrong group, but since a lot of people here seem to be contributors, I thought I still might ask that question. I am using FreeBSD for maybe one year now and the longer I use it the more I wish to contribute in some way. Thanks a lot in advance (...and please remember to not chop my head off), Jan ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
