| |
Hi
The first thing one normally does before starting a new development is research whether and what has already been done in this area. Unless, of course, one knows it beforehand:-)
This research might sometimes be quite time-consuming and might not always deliver expected results. Wouldn't it be good to have a central page for tracking such hot kernel projects _before_ they get submitted into mainline. One would just decide "now I am prepared to tell the world about my work", go to this site, register, enter a description of his project in an appropriate section with some contact information (a mailing list that the developer is regularly reading should be enough). The site could be just organized in a hierarchial manner. For example, to add a new ARM XScale port one would go
top -> Processor architectures -> ARM -> XScale -> ...
I am no designer, no web-administrator, and no content-provider, but knowing that LKML loves action above words, I put up a sceleton trac wiki site at
http://gross-embedded.homelinux.org/trac.fcgi
so everybody could have a look, play with it, and decide if they think something like this could be useful. This is not intended as a final solution, so, don't take it too seriously. It is hosted on a 500MHz ARM system, so, be patient:-)
Any opinions, comments, suggestions are welcome.
Thanks Guennadi --- Guennadi Liakhovetski
