The PDP project was started last week by Jeroen Ruigrok and myself,
The idea behind this project, is to create documentation that will
facilitate the development of native applications for freebsd.
One of the driving forces behind this project is the lack of
information about the internals of freebsd, When asking for
information on programming freebsd one is currently pointed to
books that deal with bsd 4.4, while freebsd is a derivative from
bsd 4.4, the internals have changed greatly and even the
documentation from libc itself is way out of date.
I believe that making this documentation available will make it
easier for people to write native freebsd code. to take
advantage of the features of freebsd, somthing that will never
happen using linux emulation.
We greatly appreciate EE, and JKH's support with this project
and also a special thanks to Adrian who has joined us in this
key area.
We need people to write the documentation and people willing to
review it.
Terry, would you be interested, John Dyson you maybe? we need
people that know the code to make sure that what is written is
correct..
thanks for listening to me ramble..
if your interested in helping please contact:
