I think most of the userland work that needs to be done is relatively
simple work once you know the new socket APIs, so in principle a 
lot of people could make useful contributions here (I mean you
don't have to be one of the elite-kernel-hackers for this);
provide patches and/or help build up a ToDo list. I think it
would be nice to be able to advertise NetBSD-1.5 as the first
OS with full support for IPv6.
