--4bRzO86E/ozDv8r1 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable A while ago, a few people discussed an interesting concept, something similar to the Debian popularity contest. This project would document ports that users felt were invaluable, so that other users could learn about them and benefit from them as well. No one did anything about it, though. A gentle nudge from Kris Kennaway later, and the project has been revitalized.=20 Thus, I will be taking suggestions for ports and writeups at this address <apeiron@comcast.net>. Please include the string [PotM] (case doesn't matter) in the subject so that I can more easily organize the emails. We don't need a handbook on the port; just a few paragraphs is fine. Please send the summaries and other information in the body of the email, though MIME-compatible attachments if necessary are okay. Aside from taking port summaries, anyone wishing to help with the project can email myself and possibly Ion-Mihai Tetcu <itetcu@apropo.ro>. If emailing me, please include [PotM] in the subject as above. Other comments welcome; please CC ports@ if deemed necessary. Thanks in advance for everyone's assistance. --=20 I abhor a system designed for the "user", if that word is a coded pejorative meaning "stupid and unsophisticated". -- Ken Thompson - Unix is user friendly. However, it isn't idiot friendly. --4bRzO86E/ozDv8r1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFA1y3jk/lo7zvzJioRAs8EAJsELXbqGBQXDAhK/nHiYkfqEK1cYACeN6Be Cznki37jklMeeLWJC/ckzzE= =tyfi -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --4bRzO86E/ozDv8r1--
