I got involved in the parisc-linux port because the MKLinux port said
it worked on every 715 except the 715/33 ... and I only had a pair of
715/33 machines at the time.  I don't remember looking at the MKLinux
port for ideas, though others may have done so.

I did a paper for OLS2000 which is basically an early 'state of the
port': http://ftp.parisc-linux.org/docs/willy/ols2.pdf

There used to be a weekly report, which is still at
http://www.parisc-linux.org/weekly/ though as you can see, it's been a
while since that was updated.

There have been some 'state of the port' emails, typically in january:

I think we kind of forgot for 2005 ;-)
