There's also the TODO list:
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/syssrc/sys/arch/arm32/doc/TODO?rev=1.9&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup
some things there maybe little use for, eg the hydra support, the hydra never
made it to market, and other SMP SA solutions look to be on the way :)
I was thinking it would be good to take that list and stuff that came from
the show and make an uptodate list of stuff that's be good for 1.5.x and
stuff for future, and perhaps what's big and small, and somehow prioritise it.
Cheers,
Chris
