Subject: Q. about [Kernel-Related Projects]

Hi,

I am C/C++ developer on various linux platforms. I read abou the
following project for FSF:

"Kernel-Related Projects

An over-the-ethernet debugger stub that will allow the kernel to be
debugged from GDB running on another machine. This stub needs its own
self-contained implementation of all protocols to be used, since the GNU
system will use user processes to implement all but the lowest levels,
and the stub won't be able to use those processes. If a simple
self-contained implementation of IP and TCP is impractical, it might be
necessary to design a new, simple protocol based directly on ethernet.
It's not crucial to support high speed or communicating across gateways.
It might be possible to use the Mach ethernet driver code, but it would
need some changes. "


I wish to know what are the current development tasks, how can I join? 

Thank you in advance,

yours,
Mohamed Amin
