I am interested to become one. my sourceforge id is "tjyang".
Having write access to the SF project pages doesn't give you much, since
SF is only used as a distribution media. There is no CVS or Subversion
repository of the Hobbit code there.
My main interested so far is to have hb source tree under GNU auto tool,
this was a promise I made a while back but never got a chance to work on
it. Now the interest is back.
Are you sure there would be any major benefit from this? I don't mean
this as "what a silly thing to do", but the build problems caused by
different operating systems are very few - and can usually be solved
easily. My concern is that switching to autoconf would require
sprinkling lots of "#ifdef HAVE_SOME_FEATURE" all over the code, which
makes it much less readable - and hence more error-prone and hard to
maintain. So unless it solves a real problem I'm reluctant to commit to
using autoconf.
