I'm sending it to this list, so you can give your opinion on this

wiki.freebsd.org please :)

Great idea. I'll take some time to write an article when I'm at the
office tomorrow.

As stated in the conclusion of this document, I am willing to continue
development after I graduate. Unfortunately I don't possess all hardware
supported by the TTY layer, which means I could use some help after I
finished by internship to bring back support for the remaining hardware.

Perhaps you could provide a short list of the types of hardware you need
help with?

The only drivers I can take a look at, are:

- syscons
- sio and uart
- pty
- u(pl)com

I do have a Sun U10 laying around, but the on-board video chip broke
down some time ago, so I can't take a look at the ofw_console driver
anymore. :-(

So basically I'll need help with the console drivers on the more exotic
architectures.

By the time the basic features of the new TTY layer work like they
should, I could also use some help reviving the disciplines, like
SLIPDISC, PPPDISC, etc.
