It would obviously be good to have more people involved in the programming. One roadblock for this has been that the source code has
Please enable me (account name = tjyang) to be able to check in. I like to contribute some documenation stuff also.
not been available in a public repository. That is about to change; I am working on setting up a Subversion repository for the Hobbit code on SourceForge. I am currently testing a dump/import of the RCS modules into Subversion, and if that looks to be OK I'll upload it to Sourceforge tomorrow. So by Monday, this should be available to anyone who wants to hack Hobbit. Documentation on how you use SVN (Subversion) on Sourceforge is available at SF(3).
I printed out all the hobbit manpages and bind them together as a book.but no TOC,indexing,poor print quality etc make me decide to learn latex convert all the manpages into latex.
The quality of this book is in alpha stage better than the raw print out of manpages.
You can see the book here http://c-71-194-123-60.hsd1.il.comcast.net/pdf/ I will clean up the code the book source in once I have write permission.I have no interest to copyright it(not contribution really,just some labor work). let me know or modify the copyright terms.
Overtime, I will put in more time on the programming side so I won't waste my past C.S. training. Chap 17, is my effort to formalize the hb message protocol using BNF. the second time I use it since I took programming language class years ago.
Cheers tj
