Hi,

I would be happy to volunteer to maintain a set of NetBSD-mac68k related
WWW pages.  I have been very happy with the support i have received from
the NetBSD community and since I am not much of a programmer, I hope that
in this way I can give something back.  I have already collected a lot of
URLs and I could put them into some pages fairly easily.  

Here are some pages I could see putting up:

1) FAQs, How-To's, and other documents.

2) A list of Kernels with FTP site addresses and brief description of the
machines that should run on the kernels.  Perhaps a reverse look-up as
well. (I have this machine, what kernel do I need?)

3) A list of FTP archives for binaries.

4) A list of personal homepages concerning NetBSD.

I am wide open to suggestions.

Mark
