- This is the file "projects" from the NetBSD-Amiga distribution. It
- describes who is working on what.
-
- This file was last updated on 15. July 1994.
-
- The current maintainer of this file is Guenther Grau (s_grau@ira.uka.de).
-
- I am trying to maintain a list of all the projects people are working
- on. This should help to avoid two people working on the same project
- not knowing from each others efforts. It also should help to see if
- people are actually making progress in their efforts. The maintainer
- of this list should try to keep in touch with all the developers
- regularly (e.g. once a month or so) to see if people are still working
- on it and how they are doing. This document should not contain any
- rumours or the like. It cannot be guaranteed that all the information
- contained in this list is absolutely correct, but there should be some
- effort to be as close to the actual situation as possible. If people
- are interested in it, maybe we can put all the finished projects into
- a history file, so people can see, who has done what.
-
-
- After several requests I tried to put together a list of people, who
- have spent a lot of time contributing to NetBSD(-Amiga). I tried to
- put everyone I now of into this list, but I am almost sure that I
- forgot to mention somebody. Be sure that this has not happened on
- purpose! Send a mail to me (see address of the current maintainer
- above), and tell me what project you or the one to be mentioned has
- worked on. One last thing, I cannot mention every project somebody has
- worked on, but if you feel that one special project has been
- forgotten, please feel free to inform me.

- Comments: Initial work is aimed at installation from cdrom,
- but support for other methods (like for
- downloaded or ftp'd NetBSD) is being looked at.
- Also requires AmigaOS 2.04 or later currently.
- This may not change, as almost everyone who
- is enough of a power-user to run NetBSD (has
- 030 or greater with MMU, disk, SCSI, lots of
- memory, etc) probably runs at least 2.04.

- be placed on the NetBSD/Amiga CD-ROM news list.
- Disc will probably require 2.04 to install.
