I'm pretty interested in the port, I was one of a couple admins for about 20 FreeBSD machines at my last job, and I'm a S(l)o(w)laris admin now... I'm perfectly willing to devote my rather little programming knowledge whenever I can. Question: Although it seems that this is being hacked in a very democratic fashion, might we do well to give different people different chunks of the project? Like, say, a couple people work on compiling userland, a couple people work on bootstrap code, etc, and regularly report on progress? I read the archive and didn't really see any mention of that. -e On Tue, Nov 17, 1998 at 09:49:00PM +0000, Paolo Di Francesco wrote: > > > if we port 2.2.x we are doomed. 3.0 is the way to go. > > > 3.0 also has a LOT more in terms of portability done from the work towards > > the alpha port. > > > Ok, we'll start with 3.0.
