This seems to happen in many places in the world.

Reading various mails on this list, I think there definitly is interest
in porting NetBSD (or s.th. similar) to PA-RISC machines. There are
(at least) two people here in Munich. However, anybody who stated interest
said that he (she?) lacked skill to start the porting project.

So I think we need someone with enough knowledge of the kernel to tell
the others where to start, so that the others have a chance to learn
what must be done to get the port running.

I think it is worth a try to start porting, so I hope there will be someone
who gets things started.
