as far as i know there were some people think about port nvidia code 
from utah-glx to dri. probably they gave up because of no specs 
available for newer nvidia chipsets.

i think servicing to community is great idea too, but i'm a bit hopeless 
to understand dri and mesa codes. i only understand some of nvidia and 
xfree codes, contributed some fixes as well. but when it comes to some 
rewrite or cleanup it really needs  long time dedication.

for people who codes only for their enjoying, i think code should be 
enjoyable to gain those peoples effort. for me those enjoyable projects 
are not x, dri, mesa
