Hello all,
First, I would like to thank you guys who spend some time to maintain
ELKS, so that I can reuse it to implement Linux on my current toy :
http://www2.advantech.com/products/1-2JKP2Y/SNMP-1000-B/mod_B01ABE8D-C8AA-4530-8E3C-9FCD2623D9D6.aspx
(yes, it is a IBM-PC XT architecture).
Then, I would ask maybe a FAQ : what is the ELKS official web site today
? I see mainly a SourceForge page (http://elks.sourceforge.net/) and a
GitHub page (https://github.com/jbruchon/elks). What is the right one ?
By the way, the page http://elks.sourceforge.net/mailinglist.html
contains a broken link : http://rainbow.cs.unipi.gr/linux-8086-list.
Best regards,
Marc-F. Lucca-Daniau

The GitHub page is the current official site. I haven't touched
SourceForge in aeons. The old site is mainly there for historical
purposes; I've decided that until ELKS is a little further along in
development, there's no point in trying to maintain an informational
website for it. The info should be in the ELKS documentation/README
first and on a website second.
I'd like to see some Ethernet card support in ELKS and that's where I
personally draw the line; these days, everything is "connected" and SLIP
is difficult to set up and requires a second computer. Everything in
ELKS is designed solely to use SLIP and the ktcp program. Once we can
connect to the Internet properly, we can port or write a text-mode web
browser. I think that's when it will become more interesting to people
in general and will justify having a new website.
Of course, I welcome the thoughts of others in this regard. These are
just what I've contemplated in my spare time.

Reasonable. I recommend quickly archiving most of the top-level
SourceForge page 'News' items on the top page into a /news/
subdirectory page, and replace it with a brief announcement of what
you've said above (with a link to GitHub) - and make this the
main/only content of that top-level page.
For just a few minutes' worth of work, all future searchers get a
clear idea of what's going on (and contributors can find their way to
us more quickly).

That sounds awesome.
