Re: mint goals?

[Howard Chu <howard@harry.lloyd.com>]

Here's a few projects I'd like to see done... 
	non-blocking floppy disk access, filesystem access in general
	scsi/acsi network driver
	68881 emulator in kernel, integrated with 68881 peripheral
		driver and 68881 coprocessor manager
	shared libraries
	dynamic linking (the two do not necessarily have to be done
		as a single project, but it would be nicer that way...)

I have notes & notions about all of these, but no time to write 'em myself.

Other folks are clamoring for virtual memory, which I guess would be nice
too.

  where is mint heading?  what projects are being worked on right now for
  mint? I'm looking for software project ideas for an individual programming
  course and I'd like to do something with mint.  However, I'd like some
  ideas (ie additional features) that would be useful to the further
  development of MiNT. 
  
  Aside from additions to mint, I have noticed as I go over the sources that
  some of the code sections are very MESSY.  (mainly hard to understand or
  modify, but it works).  would there be any benefit in rewriting portions
  of the code?  take a look at the command line argument code and the config
  file reading code in main.c for some examples. 
  
  thanks,
  David
