I'm posting the following on behalf of Dave Wilkinson, who's associated
with cosource.com, an organization to provide funding for free software
projects.
PIII optimizations for Mesa would be great. I have a few contacts at
Intel so getting technical information shouldn't be too hard. I think
we just need to find someone with (1) Intel assembly experience, (2)
a PIII system, and (3) free time.
