As Ruddick Lawrence wrote: > I am willing to help develop and maintain such a library [...] Cool! That makes three of you, I think that's enough for a start. How to proceed from here? Do you all have CVS experience? I think the next step would be to discuss an API. I think it might make sense to setup a different developers list so things like that API discussion could be done there. Oh, that also asks for a name for the new library then ;-), as that name should probably be reflected in the name of the mailing list. What do you thkin about it?

I'm willing to act as a consultant for technical details, like organization of the CVS tree, and I could get you going on how to roll a release. If you are willing to establish an autoconf/automake infrastructure, you could basically re-use the release preparation instructions from avr-libc (which are described in detail in the documentation).

But don't worry too much, a consistent and relatively stable API is more important than details like how to avoid code duplication. Then, as long as you stay with the API once agreed to, anything else will be details internal to the library, which could be easily changed between releases. -- cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
