It is on my list. I might actually be able to get someone to work on this as a summerjob (no guarantees yet). The kernel side of things is well in hand, but that RDS daemon is crap software and should be replaced with something different (and above all, not daemon based). > Is there someone, who would consider assisting me a little > in writing some documentation on the RDS daemon project, > some code maybe, lateron some linux kernel modules ? I'd be happy to help with the kernel modules, but the userspace part depends on whether I can get someone to work on this or not. BTW, that RDS daemon does work fine, it's just way overengineered.
