Why not co-operate with Linux guys on this ? there's Free Net Open Dragon, & there' a load of Linuxes too, & a lot of the admin & design would be the same to collect stats regardless, .. & a lot of the hard admin tool design issues, like how to decide & allow when to autopsy transaction logs, & delete semi obvious / suspect troll submissions, & update old entries, & change server & home host numbers & functions etc, & issue people passwords so they can change themselves. If much is done by a human it's thankless, & person would get bored, better use a robot (mail or web or both), & then a lot of the design would be common regardless if *BSD, *Linux, *Mach *Minix or whatever had a few special questions only applicaple to that OS. Results could be paralled mailed to multiple servers if we don't trust `the other OS camp(s), but i'd trust eg Debian site or any BSD site to host it, (I have 3 servers to host it on berklix.org, & I'm sure 100's of other's d volunteer to host it too). I sure wouldnt want to spend time writing it though. How about palming it off on some Summer Of Code hacker next Northern hemisphere summer? It's also possibly something non mainline computer people might do for us ! Ethnologist/ social research students with some programming skills, whatever they call themselves: Pperiodically I see references to Geek numbers, free software users & what they're up to, seem to recall something in Washinton Post a while back, though dont normally read that. Those people would be OS neutral too, 'long as they're not Redmond based/ users/subsidised. -- Julian Stacey. Consultant Unix Net & Sys. Eng., Munich. http://berklix.com Mail in Ascii, HTML=spam.
