OK. sounds like a good idea. As for docs..well we don't have much beyond the
code, but our base is standard BSD sockets and their tcp/ip
implementation...

Cool. We haven't done anything with PPP yet, so feel free to start looking
at and working on PPP.

As for services, I souldn't worry about those just yet as we have lots of
code we can use for those. Let's get the stack working before we start
branching...

Well, the current thinking is that we only grant commit once we've seen
patches for a period. So, I'd suggest checking out the code, building and
than have a browse through it.  I'm going to add a page on the site with a
list of known bugs and that should give something for people to work on.
