Apart features and fixes, I'd suggest these 4 activities: - Bug reporting is critical to satisfy all use cases - Patch reviews are very important and help to accelerate their integration - Clean-up (e.g. remove doxygen warnings, merge linux and bsd eal, etc) - Documentation Welcome :) PS: inline replies are preferred in general -- Thomas 2014-10-31 15:53, r k: > Hi Jim, > > Thanks for your response.
