You can do all the above.
I am too busy.
This is an excellent point. Kernel development is a fairly
specialized skill, and we shouldn't ask those who can contribute in
this way to divert their energy.
Web development is a different skill. If OpenBSD is supposed to be
community-sponsored operating system, then perhaps it's time that
some of us step up to the plate and use some of our skills to
contribute to the community.
My schedule is booked for the next couple of months (I'm doing an
enterprise migration away from Windows, a fairly large task). If
nobody else steps up to the plate in that time, I'll put this onto my
project list. I'm thinking a Slash-type environment could distribute
the compatibility reporting among users and allow for click-throughs
for purchasing.
If there's a real web developer (I'm an SA) out there, I'm sure you
could build something fancier and better suited. Anyone else feel the
need to contribute?
