Realize no one is going to chime in "no", because there isn't any central "I do this" registry. If you don't get an "I do" response in several days, then you have to interpret it as "we don't". Possible exception, many folks don't real -hackers anymore due to it's increased noise level. I think you don't need to be all that concerned, tho. I searched the list archives and turned up nothing > since August '97. Anyone? And would these changes be welcome? Do one, and post it, let's see. If it's well written, could be. You have to understand, no one is going to give you a yes or no, you can't have that until you show code. It's certainly been asked before, and in fact some folks got really huffy about not being given a carte blanche to work in a certain area, with prior understanding that their work would be contributed. That will NEVER happen ... do your work, pick a target that won't be the largest, perhaps, and give it a trial run. Our system works pretty well, you'll see. It's not perfect, but no one has found a better way, yet. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@picnic.mat.net | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run picnic (FreeBSD-current) (301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (Solaris7). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
