Basically, it's freshmeat but just for ports. All 100% automated. It's sort of like what you get from http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi only with greater functionality. The skills I'm looking for are file manipulation with tools such as awk and/or perl. The tasks I have for people are quite short tasks. For people skilled at these tools, the task should only take a half hour or so from what I've seen other do. It's just that I don't have the skills. Those who wish to join the project, please contact me off list. I'm also interested in hearing from people who would like to discuss the best ways of implementing this project. I have a few ideas, and have tested most of them. I also have some test pages running. But I would like to hear from those who know much more about this area than I do. Perhaps the ports mailng list is the best place to discuss this? -- Dan Langille - DVL Software Limited [I'm looking for more work] http://www.dvl-software.com/ | http://www.unixathome.org/ http://www.racingsystem.com/ | http://www.freebsddiary.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
