I want to help with 2.5
Hi,
I would like to make a meaningful contribution to the 2.5 kernel, so I'm wondering if anyone out there would like my help. I would prefer to work on a component where I could do the majority of the work, rather than just help out with something massive. Is there a particular piece of hardware that needs a device driver that no one is working on? Is there some kernel enhancement that no one has gotten around too but would be a good addition? Please post or email your suggestion! Thanks!

Have you looked at the kernel janitor project? I know there are still drivers that need to be moved away from virt_to_bus, for example.
cheers,

I would also like to help with development of the 2.5 kernel, we could work on it together?

Well, referring to my post from a few says ago about my CD writing problems (subject was PROMBLEM: CD burning at 16x uses excessive CPU, although DMA is enabled), it seems there is great need to have ATAPI/ASPI, for anyone with a fast ATAPI CD writer.

Yes, I have. I should have mentioned that. However, it really didn't help me, because I was looking for a list of projects that no one is working on yet.

The list contains projects that have been identified, but many have not been started.
Find one that suits your interests, and ask if someone else has started it on the janitor list...
