Ok folks, hopefully John L. Grantham, designer of the LinuxPPC.com website, and I will be teaming up soon to bring you a new website for LinuxPPC.org where we can gather up all the LinuxPPC resources and put them in a single, centralized resource for you all to enjoy. Before we go about doing this, I'd like to ask you all some questions, and run some ideas by you. Firstly, I really want to know what you'd all like to see available on LinuxPPC.org. This is an open question, and is directed at both developers and endusers. I encourage all of you to take a little bit of time and really think about this since it is very important to have a stable knowledgebase for the PowerPC port of Linux, at least IMHO it is. Secondly, since this site is going to be much more dynamic that the current site (thanks to PHP), I'd like to make, what were, static resources, more dynamic. I.E. one of my ideas is to create a status system for supported and unsupported hardware alike. This can have several features including kernel support on said systems, what bootloaders work, tips & tricks, enduser comments/advice, a link to searching the mailing lists for info on said hardware, etc, etc. Another feature I'd like to add to the site is related to the recent page put up on penguinppc.org, the "Who's Who" list. I'd like to make something like this that is a little more interactive, in order to connect the users to the developers better. Hopefully this can assist users in directing feedback/questions/suggestions/etc to the proper people. Well, I guess that's about all I've got to say for now. So, please, if you've got some extra time, look over what I've said and get back to me so that we can all work together to make the PowerPC platform a more viable solution for running Linux.
