Maybe we ought to put up some 'street cred' projects for people who genuinely want to earn their stripes, but may not know where to start. People don't always know what is needed, and what would be a good challenge, and would earn some respect. I'm perfectly serious here. What qualifies? I'd like an atheros driver. I'd like a way to be able to put data on google maps (I have no idea how this works). I'd like native limbo. Are these good enough? anything else? ron
