To be honest, no-one has the time needed to drive the effort, but anytime is better than no time. And, since no-one else is working on it you'd be the defacto leader. :) > If all it takes is enough disk to have both NetBSD-current and > FreeBSD-current online and diffable at the same time, then I can do > it, program by program if need be. I don't claim to speak for everyone else, but I'm pretty sure they be more than willing to have you do the work, program by program if necessary. > I don't know that even if I had the time if I'd have the computing > resources to host something like this.

I think you'd need someone in the NetBSD camp to do the actual commits anyway, but if you brought in their changes into our tree and sent our changes to them via send-pr I suspect you'd be making progress. > However, I do have the time, skills and desire to help in any efforts > at merging the user land code, should such efforts be hosted > elsewhere.

If you merge in their changes, get some folks to review the changes, and then start doing the commits on your own I suspect you'd certainly have some pretty happy folks in FreeBSD land. Nate
