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?
