Maintainers Wanted!

Maintainers Wanted!

[Stan Shebs]

Now that the 4.18 release is almost out (jimb is packaging as I
write), it's time to think about what to do next.  There is a whole
backlog of interesting contributions to add in, there have been some
good bug reports that need looking into, and the code, as always,
needs energetic hacking to fight off entropy.

One of the things I'd like is to get more people actively involved in
maintenance.  There are a number of things that will be happening,
setting up of a CVS repository and such, but all that is merely setup
for the actual work of improving the code, which requires people.  At
this point a number of Cygnus engineers have signed up for specific
pieces of GDB maintenance, and I've appended the list to this message.
But as you can see, there are many holes too.

If you choose to become a maintainer, there will be several
expectations of you: you need to be technically proficient (though not
necessarily expert) in the area you maintain, you need to enforce the
GDB coding standards and practices as well as general FSF policies,
you need to be willing to discuss changes with contributors and fellow
maintainers.  There is no manual for how to do all this, so you have
to be willing to learn on the job; fortunately, there are plenty of
people to offer helpful advice, even when you don't want it. :-)

So, if you're interested in helping with this very important job for
the GNU project, please send me mail describing the specific areas you
want to take on, and we'll get things going.

"FREE DOWNLOAD".Register Your Web Site To Over 800+ Search Engines "Instantly".

Version #4.3b Just released

I would like to inform you about a new, and exciting award winning
product that will save you both countless hours, and increase
your exposure on the Internet immeasurably! Known as the
Submission Wizard, our program offers web users such as
yourself the ability to automatically submit your site to
over 800+ search engines in just one session . Select from
different categories, even countries, the choice is yours.

The submission process is very simple, efficient, and most
importantly, fast. All you do is provide standard site
information (i.e. site name, address, description,
and a few well chosen keywords). The Submission Wizard
takes this information and changes it into the format
required by each different engine, then registers your
web site. It's that simple!

In addition, the Wizard's database of search engines and
directories is constantly being updated every week,
thus giving your site fresh and relevant exposure. Also,
the Wizard allows you to register multiple URL's.

Just imagine the possibilities! Take charge of your web
exposure. Try out the Submission Wizard demo FREE by
following the provided hyperlink. We know you'll be as
excited about it as we are!

PROMOTEONE... GET TO #1 ON THE SEARCH ENGINES NEW PUBLICATION.

One of the most frequently asked questions is,
"How do I get my site listed to the top of the search
engines?" (i.e., Yahoo, Excite, Infoseek, Webcrawler, HotBot,
Lycos, & AltaVista) Here is the answer:

Now available is "The Step by Step Guide to Successfully
Promoting a Web Site," which has been designed to teach you
everything you need to know about each of the major search
engines. This information is valuable to know before you request 
search engines to add your web site to. By combining the information you
learn from "The Guide" and by using the incredible power and
flexibility of Submission Wizard to actually list your web site,
you are well on your way to making the investment in a web presence
pay off.

What most people don't realize when they try to list their
web site with search engines is that each one has it's own
way of doing things. What you know ahead of time
could make the difference between finding your site or not.

For more information on this book please visit
http://www.powersubmitter.com and go to our link marked " How to get to the top of the search engines. " for further details.

Thank you for your time, and good luck with your web promotion.
