agreed... well i do have spare time .... not by choice really :(( but its
a good way to spend time and do something usefull !! without overloading
myself too much ....

Dunno if my knowledge of NetBSD is enough to be a portmaster but i would
be willing to be a co-port master myself... or be the one :-| allthough I
might need help !!! I'm working myself in the workings of NetBSD and the
arm32 port isnt allways a good point to start :( ... it needs some
cleaning up.... oh well... also very interesting!

Big projects indeed... about that: first split up and then merge common
stuff ? or split off everything that has to do with one ? (sounds logical
too)

Well do they want to have developer accounts ?

Sometimes the hardest thing yes.... like the stuff in pmap or the import
of a new compiler....

Nice nice

Ouch ... well being there is a bit difficult.... who's gonna pay my ticket
:) but in the Netherlands I can do it :)

been working on that.... but there still needs lots to be done...
