I want to contribute
Hello devs,
I am new to the Minix team. I have been studying about minix kernel
since last couple of months. I am feeling like I can now contribute to
Minix.
To start with, I will port some program and driver to Minix. Please
suggest which program or driver should I port? I mean, pleasse suggest
me one which is important and yet no one is working on it . Is there
any jvm for Minix?
Thanks,
I am waiting for replies.

@Siddharth Prakash Singh
Hello,
I am looking for someone top port Povray 3.6 ([url]http://www.povray.org[/url])
to Minix. Because the lack of important " C++ /configure /make"
knowledge I am not really able to do this myself.
The goal is to build a dedicated machine That runs:
Minix3
HTTP or Telnet server
Povray
to send text files to this machine (Pov.files) , that will process
them and send images back.
a povray server so to say.
Beacuse povray performs better with less OS-overhead I think Minix
would be an excellent choice to gouvern this kind of operations.
Povray is a linux proram and based on static code (no dependecies) and
does nothing else than pure math calculations.
Sounds nice?
Greetings Caspar

Re: I want to contribute
That would be great. I currently run povray on Ubuntu 8.04 wich works
fine, maybey you could do some studies on linux first?
There is also A LOT OF documentation and a very big FORUM on:
[url]http://www.povray.org/[/url]
There is also an install script in the povray code you can download,
but don't ask me about any detauils about that! ;)
