Well, I could done that. I have only one programming project right now and
this isn't even programming, just writing a FAQ and updating a homepage. 
There are still some reasons why I can't help you with this right now: 

1. I know almost nothing about MIPS/Linux. Well, as soon as it boots for
   me will I study all its advantages and disadvantages.
2. My internet connection is not very fast. Only modem at home. Well, I
   have a faster connection at school, but you know. Serving a ftp
   with 10mb kernels is not a job for me. (well, I may take charge of the
   www site some day in the (near?) future).

Linux on SGI Indy's is quite stable once it boots.  We have about
five or so users that use it daily as their development platform.

Developing MIPS/Linux or developing something else?
How many MIPS/Linux are there right now? 10? 50? 100?

We seem to have some problems with some HW configs but not enough
installed base to figure all this out.  Maybe now that Ralf is
back we may see some progress.  Ralf is an amazing MIPS and Linux
hacker, we probably need someone else who is less of a hacker but
more of a documenter to take charge of the web site.

How many coders are there for MIPS/Linux, just Ralf?

You'll be blessed if you join.

As I said I have to install the funky shit first of all. :-)
