Note that I was merely pointing out a list with more possibilities that _might_ be of interest to _someone_ that I hadn't seen discussed, not suggesting any particular one. But of course who (if anyone) is interested, is not under my control; nor was it clear to me that I should have anticipated a response like yours. Now, it is, of course. You won that round. If you're suggesting that everyone that wants to work on the code should just pick their own solution and see it through, that's a possibility too, but until there's enough more progress made, it strikes me that such a diffuse effort would be at least as inefficient as all the talk, particularly since the number of people that could handle _that_ challenge would be even smaller than the number that could participate if a readily available common platform were being used. Of course, once the first port was fully functional and reasonably clean&modular wrt to the platform-specific code, it might well be wonderful to have people taking it to a bunch of additional PowerPC based platforms. IMO, anyway; no doubt others have their own. I guess opinions really are like, well, you know. This message posted from opensolaris.org
