I also contribute to XFree so I have seen comments about the framebuffer
and thought it would be nice to get one of the NASA-Dryden spares up
and running with XFree. Since my layoff, I lost access to those mips
machines and I seem to have even less time than I did with a 40 hour
a week job.
Would this donation help Debian? Is the buildd task the best item to
tackle first? Where do we go from here?
