I'm looking for a project to do as a computer science project course
this summer, and I was wondering if any of you people had projects
that might be suitable. I'm especially interested in compilers,
operating systems, windowing systems, user interfaces, and networks.
I'm a fairly experienced programmer; I know C and 68000 assembly
language fairly well (and I know more about 8088 assembly than I want
to :-)), and have experience programming Amigas, Macs (a little bit),
and Unix. I've also got a fair amount of experience modifying and
porting software.
To give you an idea of the kinds of projects I'd like to do, here's a
list of some things I'd like to work on:
Porting the Blit software to the Amiga
Porting BSD 4.3 to the National Semiconductor ICM
Working in SmallTalk or C++ (two languages I've always wanted
to learn)
Porting GNU C and/or GNU C++ to new machines
Porting X Windows or NeWS to new machines
I'll be free during the daytime this summer, so I could come down to
the UofT to work on hardware there; I also have an Amiga and a Unix
box at home, so I could work there or via modem.
So, if you have a project that needs an extra person, or that you
haven't had the manpower for, and that could be done for a project
course, drop me a line! I can be reached electronically at the address
in my signature, or by voice at 654-5653 (usually after 7pm), or by
calling my Unix box (at 654-8854, 24hrs) and sending me email.
