Hah! There is even a better project to look at ;-) http://code.google.com/soc/coresystems/appinfo.html?csaid=A64F3E060F47221 It is not yet completed, but these two projects have a great overlap. That said, I know that for summer of code (I am a student with a SoC project myself, although I won't work on GRUB 2) it's about writing code. It is not a problem if code is duplicated, although you can better talk about this with Jeroen and Okuji because they are the mentors. As maintainer I just prefer the best code and the biggest amount of features and maintainability. Don't be afraid to write an IDE driver yourself. I do not think it is *that* hard. I estimate it takes you just a few weeks when you are completely unexperienced. There is a lot of documentation about this and you are certainly not the first person working on this. -- Marco _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
