This is the file "projects" from the NetBSD-Amiga distribution. It describes who is working on what. This file was last updated on 17. March 1994. The current maintainer of this file is Guenther Grau (s_grau@ira.uka.de). I am trying to maintain a list of all the projects people are working on. This should help to avoid two people working on the same project not knowing from each others efforts. It also should help to see if people are actually making progress in their efforts. The maintainer of this list should try to keep in touch with all the developers regularly (e.g. once a month or so) to see if people are still working on it and how they are doing. This document should not contain any rumours or the like. It cannot be guaranteed that all the information contained in this list is absolutely correct, but there should be some effort to be as close to the actual situation as possible. If people are interested in it, maybe we can put all the finished projects into a history file, so people can see, who has done what. After several requests I try to put together a list of people, who have spent a lot of time contributing to NetBSD(-Amiga). I tried to put everyone I now of into this list, but I am almost sure that I forgot to mention somebody. Be sure that this has not happened on purpose! Send a mail to me (see address of the current maintainer above), and tell me what project you or the one to be mentioned has worked on. One last thing, I cannot mention every project somebody has worked on, but if you feel that one special project has been forgotten, please feel free to inform me. Credit, where credit is due!

Name: Ty Sarna Email: tsarna@endicor.com Started: January 1994 Finished: Currently in public testing Last Update: Comments: Hopefully will make it into the next distributed kernel (after 730). Project: easy-install Short description: Software to make installation easier Name: Ty Sarna Email: tsarna@endicor.com Started: Decemer 1993 Finished: Last Update: Comments: Initial work is aimed at installation from cdrom, but support for other methods (like for downloaded or ftp'd NetBSD) is being looked at. Also requires AmigaOS 2.04 or later currently. This may not change, as almost everyone who is enough of a power-user to run NetBSD (has 030 or greater with MMU, disk, SCSI, lots of memory, etc) probably runs at least 2.04. Project: NetBSD/Amiga CD-ROM distribution Short description: NetBSD on disc, ready to install Name: Ty Sarna Email: tsarna@endicor.com Started: Decemer 1993 Finished: Last Update: Comments: The finish date is hard to predict due to the nature of NetBSD development. Probaly Spring/Summer '94. If you wish to be notified when production is nearing, mail tsarna@endicor.com and ask to be placed on the NetBSD/Amiga CD-ROM news list. Disc will probably require 2.04 to install.
