Go ahead. Another task we talked about would be pages for users out of
tree ports, like currently exist for the Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone and
OMAP L138, where some information such as where to find the patch,
applying to which kernel sources and links to pre-built kernels if they
exist.

Yes, that is fine, however we should remove the mail addresses (but keep
the authors addresses), are the pages are going to be on the website.

Thanks for helping with this.
