ELKS Website Maintenance Volunteer
Greetings to all who do not know of me yet. My name is Jody Bruchon, and I would like to take on the task of maintaining the ELKS project website and related documentation. While I can't bring C programming skills to the table, I can certainly manage a website and assist with documentation. Since there is no one beating the door down to do this work (for the past three years or so, in fact) I would like to take the first step.
I have CC'ed this message to the SF mail addresses of the admins because I am not certain as to whether they read the Linux-8086 list any longer.
If an admin is needed that has more spare time to maintain the entire
project, I am willing to do that as well. Despite the fact that I was not knowledgeable enough in C to render Lynx even buildable on ELKS, I have many other areas in which I am more skilled and can be a contributor.
My user name on SourceForge is "megamanidx" (I made it up eleven years ago, don't ask). If I can take on any of the previously mentioned duties, please let me know. Due to the unfortunate demise of Riley Williams, who appeared to be the last active contributor to the project, we have a flag lying on the ground, and I'd like to see that picked back up.
Sincerely,
Jody Bruchon
Hi Jody,
You have the skills that most of us lack!
Thanks for taking this on (same for Forrest),

Great to hear that you have the time for this Jody and that some energy is going into ELKS! At some point it would vbe good to figure out what is up with cvs, but putting a tarball on the website will temporarily fix that problem. We will need it working at some point, especially if some development will be happening (I hope to dig into the sources when I get a chance). Getting the archive link fixed (hopefully it's still somewhere), getting up a memorial page,and releasing the latest version (maybe it will fix some of the ELKS bugs I've been experiencing?) sounds like a great start. Thanks for volunteering. ELKS lives!?

I'll help too, when I am needed. I don't have good C skills either, but i can write just about any given function given enough patience, pizza, and marijuana.

I no longer have any active involvement with the ELKS project, but if you wish to carry on development I should be able to enable the appropriate privileges. Let me know your sourceforge usernames, and I will add you to the project.
