I don't have much extra time on my hands, but I do have access to a Sparc 5 clone for build testing and to a significant amount of extra network capacity. I will offer the bandwidth (a barely used 2Mbit SDSL line located in Western Canada - a T3 and a few hops away from Sprint's Cheyenne, Wyoming POP) and a box to host a FTP repository if anyone's interested.
