Please do not cross post in the future. While doing so one time is probably OK it is not a good habit to get into. Try to carry out discussion on the actual sig mailing list you set up, which you forgot to refer people to. This will be my only email on this subject not directed at that list, and this one only because I don't think others are aware of its existence yet. http://lists.osdl.org/mailman/listinfo/hotplug_sig > For those of you unfamiliar with the concept of OSDL SIGs, they are > temporary groups created to work on specific areas i.e we'll figure out > what needs to be done, write code for it, get it submitted and accepted, > provide documentation when required and disband. I, and I would guess several others, are skeptical that you are not trying to preempt and/or control the work already being done by the community. I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt for now. I hope others will do the same. > > After this lengthy introduction here is my request to you: > If there are any tasks or features that you would like to get done but > don't have the time or resource to do them yourself or within your group > please let us know.

I've worked on cpu hotplug, am now working on memory hotplug, and am somewhat involved in pci hotplug. What I see as common unfulfilled needs are: 1. Documentation and more documentation. 2. Constant regression testing. As not a lot of people have hardware that supports various hotplug and they are not enabled by default new features tend to break them. ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 _______________________________________________ Linux-hotplug-devel mailing list http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net Linux-hotplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-hotplug-devel
