[User-mode-linux-devel] Help Wanted?

[Emil O. <em...@mi...>]

Hi,

I'm interested in helping out with UML if it's needed or wanted.  I've
been looking at the website, the code, and mail list archives and maybe I
could help out with SMP or the Windows port.

What exactly is the status of SMP in UML now?  I noticed that there was a
patch from back in January, but also some recent mention that SMP is not
supported/enabled.  If SMP isn't in UML now, how should SMP be defined for
it?  Would it be some sort of pthread (or other thread library) thing
where UML could actually be running on several CPU's or something else?
Forgive me if these are stupid questions; I just started looking at this
stuff.

I doubt that I'm really in a good position to do the Windows port -- all I
have is Windows 98 and from what I gather (I'm not really experienced with
Windows programming), Windows NT is necessary to catch syscall interrupts 
(?). If I can do anything with Windows 98 that would help, please let me
know.

Finally, I use to be fluent in broken French, so maybe I could work on
translating the web site.

If this is of use to anyone, please let me know.  I would like to focus on
one of the technical projects and maybe do the translating on the side.

Thanks,
Emil
