You can link to it from `www.linuxia64.org' or go directly to the page at `www.linuxia64.org/todo.html'. Check it out and let me know if there are any changes or additions. Some obvious changes are we need some volunteers for `EEPro100', `execve' and `gprof' - any takers? In addition to the web page I plan on sending out a text copy of the list to this mailing list on a bi-weekly basis.
