    yes (Cyrille Lefevre)

    None yet. Do you happen to know the right people
    at any of the UNIX(R) shops?

    Rough idea of direction:

    1. get some wiki-like thing for editing a document
    2. define a fair "extended ps" compromise
    3. based on that, patch the SUSv3 ps specification
    4. get Linux, one BSD, one SysV, and one OSF/1 to conform
    5. get some of the changes into SUSv4 (deadline?)
