I want to help with 2.5

I want to help with 2.5

[Timur Tabi]

Hi,

I would like to make a meaningful contribution to the 2.5 kernel, so I'm 
wondering if anyone out there would like my help.  I would prefer to 
work on a component where I could do the majority of the work, rather 
than just help out with something massive.  Is there a particular piece 
of hardware that needs a device driver that no one is working on?  Is 
there some kernel enhancement that no one has gotten around too but 
would be a good addition?  Please post or email your suggestion!  Thanks!

Yes, I have.  I should have mentioned that.  However, it really didn't 
help me, because I was looking for a list of projects that no one is 
working on yet.

Get the veryveryvery latest kernel source, and have a look in the MAINAINERS file.

Have you looked at the kernel janitor project?  I know there are still
drivers that need to be moved away from virt_to_bus, for example.

I would also like to help with development of the 2.5 kernel, we could
work on it together?

Hi,

I would like to make a meaningful contribution to the 2.5 kernel, so I'm

wondering if anyone out there would like my help.  I would prefer to 
work on a component where I could do the majority of the work, rather 
than just help out with something massive.  Is there a particular piece 
of hardware that needs a device driver that no one is working on?  Is

Well, referring to my post from a few says ago about my CD writing
problems (subject was PROMBLEM: CD burning at 16x uses excessive CPU,
although DMA is enabled), it seems there is great need to have ATAPI/ASPI,
for anyone with a fast ATAPI CD writer.

The list contains projects that have been identified, but many have not been
started.

Find one that suits your interests, and ask if someone else has started it
on the janitor list...
