Another useful communication channel IMHO is an easy to update
WWW-site to collect the info and initial experience. We already
host quite a set of virtual WWW-sites and WWW-mirrors (see:
http://www.pasta.cs.uit.no/Pasta/virtual.html), so adding one
is little work. For such a preliminary NetBSD-hppa site I would
like then to make a similar setup as we have for our local project
sites, i.e. have apache serve it's WWW-pages from a CVS-repository.

This CVS-repository would then be accessible over SSH, and I'd
distribute the proper ssh-key to a limited number of people that 
are going to do active work on it.

Untill an organized porting effort has been set up (with a
port-maintainer and infrastructure at netbsd.org), an initial
source CVS repository would be very useful too I think. Whether
a separate repository or a mirror of the NetBSD-current CVS with
an hppa branch would be the right thing, I don't know. But after
figuring out what is needed, we could host such a repository here.

Just let me know if I should start on setting these things up 
or not.

Feico.
