I, for one, have been amazed at the amount of support that is provided to
the community by Gary, Andrew, Jonathan, Bart, Mark, Nick, (help me out
here... I know I am missing other folks -- please forgive me if I forgot
somebody). I find it difficult enough just to peruse the mailing list on a
semi-occasional basis, much less answer the "How do I get eCos running on
_this_ particular hardware that you've never heard of, but is almost just
like this other one that you have heard of", questions that these folks
consistently and patiently answer.
I don't want to turn this into a firefight either, but I do want to say
thanks.
Thanks.
