It's poorly phrased and even offensive, but the answer is not out there in the public domain. Nor is the list of tasks to be undertaken in the shape for a GSOC project. But maybe, just maybe, if the community can get its act together to support a "codereview" type approach, we can ask Coraid to sponsor the minimum resources required by it. I don't have a clue to the details, but I would be thrilled to contribute. And I would start with one of 9front ot 9atom and submit CLs to improve the Bell Labs foundation. Participation by JMK or Geoff would be optional and extremely welcome. And maybe there are others out there who could step up to the plate if Coraid cannot provide some financial support? ++L
