Hi Jason,

could you document somewhere not only where which is logged to but
also which project has the responsibility for which directories?

I've checked out the complete tree and if running make reveals a bug
somewhere it would be nice to just lookup the bug address (or project
homepage which includes this information) to know to which list I
should report it.

For example: Where should a bug in the bfd directory (or in the
toplevel configure file) be reported?  To binutils, gdb or wherever?

A small file in the top level directory should be enough.

Andreas

P.S. Here's a first draft to show what I mean - feel free to rewrite
it or throw it completly away ;-):
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This archive contains the sources for several projects, e.g. gdb and
binutils.  Each project has its own mailing list and is responsible
for some subdirectories.  Some directories are shared by projects,
access to these files needs to be coordinated.

Here's a list of directories and corresponding projects:

bfd: shared between gdb and binutils
binutils: binutils
...

The files in this directory are shared by all projects.

The web sides of the projects are:
binutils: http://sourceware.cygnus.com/binutils
...

For reporting bugs and sending patches, please send the messages to
the approbriate mailing list.  If a directory is shared by some
projects, send the email to either of these - but please don't send it
to all.  If you're not sure which project is responsible, just send
the report to the gdb (???) folks.
