From: callison@uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu (James P. Callison) Subject: Registry of ongoing projects Date: 21 Jul 1992 17:36:22 GMT
I was reading the flamefest on the deficiencies of Linux, and I got to
wondering if anybody was working on adding ATI support to the X-windows
stuff, and if anybody was working on adding 32-bit SCSI support, and so
on and so forth.
It also occurred to me that multiple people might be working on the same
project (unknowingly) and duplicating each other's work. So I thought it
might be a Good Idea (patent pending) to start a registry of on-going
Linux projects. I don't know if one exists, but I'd be more than happy
to run it if it doesn't (well, I can't program worth beans in C or
assembly language, and I'd like to do something to contribute to this
_*EXCELLENT*_ OS -- Thanks a million, Linus).
So whaddya think? We could have the programmers out there send me a message
stating what their project is, what the status of it is, etc, and I could
summarize and post a List of Ongoing Projects, perhaps in conjunction with
the FAQ (which'll be "fortnightly", according to the latest version).
Opinions, comments, ideas?
