Music to my ears! If you haven't already found them, please check out http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Rainbow and http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Security There are a bunch 'TODOs' on those pages where your assistance would be most welcome, or if you prefer, you might suggest some topics that interest you. >I expect an emulated environment would be a good choice for this type >of development. Actually, for a variety of reasons, I'm working quite hard to make rainbow usable on stock linux machines like those represented by Debian and Fedora chroots. Therefore, if you can show me interesting rainbow patches that work in those environments, I'm quite likely to take them. Regards, Michael P.S. - One long-standing request which might interest you is to integrate rainbow into the sugar-jhbuild system used by many sugar developers so that they conduct their regular development in an environment more similar to that found on-XO. A nice side-benefit of this task is that you would become well-equipped to participate in further sugar-related and tinderbox-related development in the natural course of fulfilling the task. P.P.S. - What are you thinking about document storage? _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
