Hi Ron,

This is a great question.

We’re actively setting up support to wire in up externally hosted CI bots to 
our CI infrastructure so that the community can help support the bringup and 
testing of Swift on other platforms beyond the officially supported platforms.  
The tentative rollout for that was December.  We’ll announce more details once 
we get closer to rollout.

With that in mind, we’d definitely be interested in highlighting platforms that 
are being brought up, especially those actively tested in CI, prominently on 
Swift.org <http://swift.org/>.  I’m also interested in highlighting other 
bring-up efforts as well (say those without CI testing), although possibly with 
much less emphasis.  The nice thing about projects that are being actively 
tested during development is that it provides a transparent read to the 
community on how actively maintained that platform actually is.

That said, do you have specific ideas on how such efforts should be highlighted 
on swift.org <http://swift.org/>, and what should be the optics?

Thanks,
Ted
