- 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?
