Hello, I'm Subhashish Pradhan, a 3rd year CS undergrad from India. I am interested in the following idea: "Overhaul the config system". I see that this project requires C, some scripting (I guess Makefiles), and some kernel skills. I believe I have these skills thanks to my GSOC project with GNU/Hurd last year and from writing basic kernel modules for the Eudyptula Challenge. Since this task is limited to base-system, what could be some basic work that can be done to demonstrate proficiency while working on base-system, related to this project? I guess, I need to understand the specifics of rebuilding a kernel, don't I? (then I'll try to rebuild and study makefiles and dependencies) Any helpful directions/commments will be appreciated. Cheers, Subhashish nick: sprkv5
