Richard,
Kudos. I've been meaning to start such a community for some time now,
but have been too busy.
I strongly agree with this idea, and I think it would be good to
investigate a multi-pronged approach:
- Create a place for porters to ask and answer technical
questions.
- Create a master "wish list" of open source apps we'd like to port:
- What the app is, what it does
- What needs porting (is it fine tuning? major functionality?
clean integration with SMF?... what's the issue?)
- Possible funding, bounties, etc.
- Educational materials/articles about porting.
- A list of identified problems with OS which are inhibiting
porting.
- Porting challenges: In other words-- "December's challenge
to the group is to port Audacity"
Further thoughts?
