PLEASE note this list is CHANGING continuously as I add stuff. Please stop sending me mail because your favorite patch is not on the list yet, it may will be coming shortly. This mail is overloading me, I am stoping all replies for request to new things to add to the current patchkit. Let me get done what I have, and get this thing out to you folks. I may have made some promises that are going to get broken. My availiable time is diminishing to zero, I have other things I need to get done and all the mail asking for this and that and when is this going to get done is just slowing me down. I will apologize now and again later for what did not get into the patchkit, but I feel it is time to get this patchkit on to an ALPHA 2 test stage so that it can go public very soon. I may will loose ALL my time starting next week, at this point that is unclear. I am in contact with Jordan and Nate on a daily basis and things will continue to happen. I would simply like to ask the net to bear with me, there is a tremedious amount of work to be done. I would like to put some plans togeather I have been working on that will make things happen much faster and more openly. This list was just a start. I have been putting in around 80 hours a week on this patchkit, it is an awful lot of work coming out. Again please, cut me some slack and let me get some stuff written. I will keep you all VERY informed of what is going on but I need time.. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@agora.rain.com 386BSD patchkit coordinator Wish it paid real money!
