Hi,

I can offer another 8 hours/week. I think we should start collecting
data about skills and dedication (Hs/week).

If we get enough people (and the requiered skills!), we can start
planning the development.

What you do think??

BTW, although I've been using Linux since 1994, I don't consider myself
a Linux guru. I have an idea of how the OS works, but I've never taken
the time to investigate the internals (specially OS boot and init). BUT
I'm willing to learn and I have a programming background (all I need is
a project leader to guide me).
