Date: Fri, 18 Aug 2000 21:05:41 GMT Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Message-ID: X-OriginalArrivalTime: 18 Aug 2000 21:05:41.0825 (UTC) FILETIME=[114AA310:01C00958] Sender: owner-freebsd-arch@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG The recent thread on the [somewhat-dead]sparc port has got me thinking. I would like to contribute, on a code level, to such a port. However I don't have the technical background. I am a computer science student, and my programming talents currently run more along the lines of application programming. So what I would like are pointers to * mailing lists * articles * books * websites or whatever other information you think would help me along the road to being able to contribute. I realize this is a rather long term learning process.. but I have plenty of free time. I also realize by the time I learn anything useful the port to sparc might be done.. but better late then never. Besides, there will always be more ports to work on...
