                  Linux Projects-FAQ

This is the Projects-FAQ for Linux. Here you'll find some information
concerning popular projects that are currently in the design or coding
stage. Code for these projects is not publicly available yet. However, the
software is being worked on and will be eventually available. Please DO NOT
send tons of questions to the developers but instead let them spend their
time working on the project. This FAQ will be updated regularly and will be
available on sunsite.unc.edu as /pub/Linux/docs/faqs/Projects-FAQ (i.e. I'll
upload it once a week if there's a new version). The latest version is
always being kept on ftp.ix.de:/pub/Linux/FAQ/Projects-FAQ.  

If you are about to develop a certain piece of software and if you think it
would be good to let people know, please send me an entry according to the
template shown below. The fields "AuthorEmail" and "ETA" are optional; if
you don't believe people won't drown you in email or don't think it's wise
to tell a potential release date, simply leave these fields empty. Please
don't forget to send me updates if the status of your project changes, or
I'll have to query you eventually. ;^) 

If you are not working on a specific project yourself but know someone else
is, please drop me a note. 

After the initial release of code to the public, I intend to leave the
respective entry in the list for some weeks or so, adding a comment where
the code can be found, then delete the entry to avoid redundancy (with the
LSM).  

This FAQ is for non-commercial Linux software projects only. If there is
enough interest, then maybe someone should set up a separate list covering
commercial products for Linux some time later. Any additional volunteers?
Linux-specific hardware projects are not covered -- it doesn't seem as if
there were too many of them. 

Sample entry follows (similar to an LSM entry, thank you Jeff). Some sample
entries (e.g. "Assistance") don't cover every possible item - feel free to
enter what you like, but don't create new fields and don't change field
names. Field lengths are now arbitrary, but avoid an overall length of more
than 78 characters.

Title:          dtalk - A multi-user talk program 
Desc1:          dtalk is an attempt at an efficient multi-user talk
