I added a gsoc-ized ticket for Realtek Gigabit Ethernet (#519) and
closed an earlier duplicate thereof.

Another area which comes to mind is whether porting HelenOS to
RaspberryPi could be a good GSoC project. I know several of us already
have a Pi, but as far as I know, the porting effort has not started yet.

It would be good to know Petr's opinion about this.

I can take care of this.

This could mean two things actually. It's either a call for bettering
the already present dynamic linking support on the architectures where
dynamic linking is already supported (pretty much what Jiri has recently
started doing) or a call to bring dynamic linking support to
architectures where it is not yet supported, a kind of subset of
improving the architectures that are lagging behind. Maybe we can use
both meanings.

Looks like the content of the original page moved somewhere else, we
better fix this.

There was also an idea to remove some of the old GSoC tickets from the
list, for example:

#40 Implement support for Sgi Octane (mips64)
#194 Driver for AMD Lance network card clone

What do people think?
