Hi! This is an appeal for any volunteers which would like to contribute a bit to the FreeDOS project. We won't push v1.1 without any help! Sitting and waiting until 1.1 comes out won't make things happen. There's simply too much to do.
How could *YOU* help? You are a coder: If you do know how to debug programs, you could help by fixing/improving existing FreeDOS programs. For example UNDELETE still needs a complete FAT32 support, we have no installer so far for the v1.1 distro, FDPKG should get compatible with mixed "binaries+sources" packages, the FreeDOS kernel require some work to be pushed into STABLE state, etc... You don't do programming, but have some time to spare: There are many things you can definitely help us with, even if you are not a programmer. - The packaging for v1.1 is still incomplete (see http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/fdupdate/ to get an idea of what's done so far, all other tools and programs needs to be packaged into FreeDOS-structured zip files), it would be nice to have a full and complete list of "what is done / what's missing". You can also check out each package to see if it is in its latest available version or not. - You could also translate any missing translations, or check existing ones (see http://www.viste-family.net/mateusz/fdlang/ for what we have so far). You could also translate FreeDOS into a language which we do not support yet. - You may do some testings. Installing FreeDOS on a PC, and testing all things you can, to find any possible bugs Do not hesitate to contact me (or write to the FreeDOS mailing list) if you have any questions about contributing to the FreeDOS project ;-) Best regards, Mateusz Viste -- You'll find my public OpenPGP key at http://www.viste-family.net/mateusz/pub_key
