News + call for testers regarding KSE + future inclusion of SMPng...
Seriously, is there any reason to hold to a time line at the expense of some very important and very fundamental enhancements to FreeBSD? I suppose that's something for -core to talk about/discuss, but I bet that if a poll was put on the homepage of FreeBSD.org (hint hint) asking about this, you'd get an overwhelming response to see KSE/SMPng in 5.X. With a poll you might even pick up some more testers given the exposure (hint hint). -sc If it's testers you want, submit a story on slashdot heh heh, I know a lot of BSDers that are converts from linux that want to test stuff, but only read slashdot for their computer news. 1) By Friday, I'm hoping to having -current + KSE patch on my boxes (money where mouth == Good Thing(tm)). 2) Is there any reason to _not_ submit a story on Slashdot, Maximum BSD, Daemon News, BSD Today, etc... I couldn't help but think the exposure and extra testers that would come of this would be a bad thing. Is there any documentation in terms of how some stranger could do this (from a vanilla system)? At any rate, post a link to the instructions in the story and what more could you ask for? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it'd be good exposure for both Jullian's work (even though KSE's will be largely unused in 5.0) and FreeBSD. -sc PS The submitted story would make it clear that this is -CURRENT (not -STABLE) and would include all of the necessary warnings/disclaimers. -- Sean Chittenden PGP signature

remember , that this is not KSE threading, just milestone 2 (run with current logic, with a broken up proc structure) lots of distance to go yet... Yup... but mozilla's been posting mile stones for years to get interest. Seems like KSE and SMPng are good candidates for the same PR. -sc -- Sean Chittenden PGP signature
