-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
I can offer another 8 hours/week. I think we should start collecting data about skills and dedication (Hs/week). If we get enough people (and the requiered skills!), we can start planning the development. What you do think?? BTW, although I've been using Linux since 1994, I don't consider myself a Linux guru. I have an idea of how the OS works, but I've never taken the time to investigate the internals (specially OS boot and init). BUT I'm willing to learn and I have a programming background (all I need is a project leader to guide me).
