Alessandro,

I _depend_ on PXC continuing to work with the Imagenation PXC200 cards as long
as they are available, so I am motivated to take over the project.  Not that I
have _any_ kernel coding experience, I am very well versed in C and know the
UNIX/Linux operating system from a application coder's level.

Shall we discuss transfer?


List memebers,

Are there others out there in a similar position willing to climb the learning
curve with me?
