We also have a rather good application for Mach code cleanup. pthread conversion is still open, but of course that can change any time... So you shouldn't base your decision *exclusively* on this -- of course it's more reasonable to apply for a project that better fits your skills... I can't give you any better advice, not knowing your skills/experience and interests. Your resume shows a general interest for low-level system programming, but that fits many of our project ideas... You mention that you have worked with Linux, but not in what way, so I can't tell whether the glue code task is perhaps appropriate. Other tasks (partially) dealing with the actual microkernel are dtrace, sound support and VM tuning. All the other tasks are userspace; many still dealing with lower-level system internals, but some are pure high-level translator programming -- procfs is mostly the latter. Some involve fixing/improving existing code, others writing totally new components. Some involve more designing, others more programming. And so on. It all depends on your preferences :-) -antrik-
