Hello all,

I recently got my hands on a SiFive board as well, and I plan to form a 
team here at FORTH to start working on RISC-V kernel support etc. How 
can I help ? I started reading the code under /arch/riscv to get an idea 
but is there a todo list somewhere or a wiki page ? On which git tree / 
branch are you working on ?

Thanks a lot for your work
Nick
