ELKS Website Maintenance Volunteer

ELKS Website Maintenance Volunteer

[Jody]

Greetings to all who do not know of me yet.  My name is Jody Bruchon, 
and I would like to take on the task of maintaining the ELKS project 
website and related documentation.  While I can't bring C programming 
skills to the table, I can certainly manage a website and assist with 
documentation.  Since there is no one beating the door down to do this 
work (for the past three years or so, in fact) I would like to take the 
first step.

I have CC'ed this message to the SF mail addresses of the admins because 
I am not certain as to whether they read the Linux-8086 list any longer. 
  If an admin is needed that has more spare time to maintain the entire 
project, I am willing to do that as well.  Despite the fact that I was 
not knowledgeable enough in C to render Lynx even buildable on ELKS, I 
have many other areas in which I am more skilled and can be a contributor.

My user name on SourceForge is "megamanidx" (I made it up eleven years 
ago, don't ask).  If I can take on any of the previously mentioned 
duties, please let me know.  Due to the unfortunate demise of Riley 
Williams, who appeared to be the last active contributor to the project, 
we have a flag lying on the ground, and I'd like to see that picked back up.

Sincerely,
Jody Bruchon

Great to hear that you have the time for this Jody and that some energy is going into ELKS!  At some point it would vbe good to figure out what is up with cvs, but putting a tarball on the website will temporarily fix that problem.  We will need it working at some point, especially if some development will be happening (I hope to dig into the sources when I get a chance).  Getting the archive link fixed (hopefully it's still somewhere), getting up a memorial page,and releasing the latest version (maybe it will fix some of the ELKS bugs I've been experiencing?) sounds like a great start.  Thanks for volunteering.  ELKS lives!?

I'll help too, when I am needed. I don't have good C skills either, but 
i can write just about any given function given enough patience, pizza, 
and marijuana.
