Hello.
I want to help to dragonfly =)
I used FreeBSD 5, and after that 6, but got interested in microkernels and 
the message ideas you got in some class at university.
Then i was looking for a new OS who uses that concepts with some BSD 
compatibility (and BSD licence), and found this project, the goals are 
great!!!!
I got some skills in C, C++, PHP, Smalltalk and a  lot of useless languages 
(like prolog, haskell, java, etc...).
Im close to get my computer sciences degree, i got experience en graph 
problems, dijkstra semaphores and those things, but i am 100% newbie on the 
colaborative way that free OS work is done.
So...
Where may i start?
Is there some architecture guide to read, may i start reading code? papers? 
mailing lists?
Can someone guide my first steps here? pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaase! :-)
BTW, my native language is Spanish, sorry for the typos and 
missunderstudings, im still learning english.
Thanks everyone for any tip you can give me!
Lets BSD!
Damian
