Just point me to something you would like me to do :) It's very nice of you to offer. I think the biggest thing we could use help on is documentation. Going over the documents, removing obsolete bits, clarifying obscure stuff, etc. I don't want to step on Joshua's toes here so maybe he'll correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the docs could use some work. Otherwise, I can't think of a specific thing to point at and say "Work on that". Maybe serial support? cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
