That's the plan. We haven't publically talked about it yet, but we'd probably like to present the code for review once we - have enough hardware supported. At least local SCSI drivers for the most common machines should be available, as well as network drivers. That's not yet the case. - have userspace working again. Currently, a very old gcc is used. I'm working on uClibc (and thereafter GNU libc) in conjunction with gcc-HEAD as time allows. So yes, we want to show off the code, but we don't want to do that publically and right now. There are still to many places where the code needs some tidy-up (and be it whitespace and comment fixes), but everybody is welcome to peek at our CVS repo (http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=3D2626) or to join the mailing list (at http://www.pergamentum.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-vax). So if *you* are looking for some beginner's task to start with kernel development, here you go! Oh, and SMP fun will hopefully start soon. A machine is on the way and I hope it'll survive shipping :-) VAX is also an interesting platform because it's another platform offering TurboChannel slots. So if you're interested in those old Alphas or DECstations, VAX is for you, too.
