Hi,

Maybe you could document your works on http://wiki.debian.org/Kernel ?

Look at Debian/kFreeBSD for example.

Best regards.
Salokine.

I think that no one answered your original question.  We are not interested
in hosting your project at sourceware.org and discussion of it in this
mailing list is not really on-topic for the Cywgin list.  The Cygwin
mailing list is for discussion about the cygwin release that is hosted
at the cygwin web site.

Feel free to send a follow-up message with a pointer to the mailing list
where you will be continuing any discussion about this topic.  I would
appreciate it if further discussion was directed there.
