hi Luke, and netnice-library developers,
as you might have realized, i have sent you several emails
this weekend, suggesting the task arrangement below.
* libnetnice development *
1) specification all
2) prototyping Luke R
on FreeBSD4.11
3) port
FreeBSD5.4 Mark
Linux Nishu
OpenBSD -
NetBSD -
4) application rewrite
FreeBSD5.4 Mark H Van Tuyl
Linux Kashif, Nirvail, Ashok, Gaurav
OpenBSD -
NetBSD -
if you think the application rewriting is too easy, i may
suggest other tasks; for example, improvement of the network
control module for Apache web server, mod_netnice.
btw, as i have suggested, it would be better for us to keep a
english-version of the specification. so, i would appreciate
if anybody put the result of machine-translation to the wiki
page, as a starting point.
lastly, if you want a team sticker, please let me know. but,
please remember that a person is eligible for the sticker
only after his first commit to the CVS, or to the Wiki ;-)
thanks!

I know that there are a few pages out there now, however all are in Japanese and did not translate very nicely for me via Google. If anyone has read through these pages and has a clear translation, please send it to the list. I realize some people aren't crazy about holding back on development - I know, I'm not really either. One thing I have learned in my minimal working experience though, is that it is a lot better to define things before you start coding.
