Please explain what you mean here. It's difficult to imagine. > * Latest version of the docs. - Needs support from 6Wind. OK It's as simple as a git hook. Anybody to write and test one locally? The script could be hosted in the future website git repo. > * Distributed testing. - Needs support from Intel initially. > Some of this is already being rolled out on the > test-report@dpdk.org list for Intel hardware: > http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/test-report/. Other hardware > vendors could use the same automated test framework to host > something similar. IBM has first started a daily compilation test. Others are welcome. We had a small session dedicated to this topic during the useability session. > * Create a User Mailing List. - Needs support from 6Wind. OK Name: user@dpdk.org or other suggestion? > * Make the dpdk.org website patchable. - Needs support from > 6Wind. OK Needs a maintainer, a name for the git repo, the mailing list and the patchwork. > * Add a Contributing Guide. - I will submit a doc patch. > > * Add a README .txt or .1st to the root dir. - I will submit a > doc patch. Thanks > * Too much duplicated code in the PMDs. - Any volunteers to > refactor common PMD code up into the ethdev layer? We need more details. Please start a new thread or a RFC. > * Logging and debugging via a secondary process. Any volunteers > to add a sample app that demonstrates the technique?
