It is apparent that there are a reasonable number of people that want to 
get involved, from the various replies.

For my part, I want to help with
    (1 - already doing it now
    (2 - linux in an X Debug envirnoment for MPC8XX and ARM
    (3 - A Major Requirement, which im happy to do
    (4 - Im also happy to update the web site, to the limit of my
       - meagre HTML and WEB Design skills.
    (5 - Should be part of the review process for new
       - patches/features. Cant or shouldnt go in without appropriate
       - documentation. Similar to what happens with core
       - gdb.
    (6 - Id like to add the ability to view memory as an
       - arbitrary bitmap, plus put watchpoints on memory
       - dumps
    (7 - As far as my capability and ego allow.
    (8 - Im happy to do it, but my experience level probably means
       - I shouldnt.

What next?

Do we have any other new volunteers that are putting up their hands?
