- The FreeBSD/MIPS Project aims to port FreeBSD to - MIPS R4000 and newer processors, with support for both desktop - platforms (e.g. SGI MIPS) and embedded systems. The ideal is for - it to be as clean of a port as possible, with as few historical - mistakes as are required, and to provide ports to major platforms - where it makes sense for FreeBSD to maintain them, while providing - a good "working base" for any third-party vendors to build their - own platforms on top of FreeBSD/MIPS.

- Initially, development is being done in the FreeBSD - Perforce repository, but once the port has reached a relatively - working state, it will be merged into the FreeBSD CURRENT branch. - Changes made which are not MIPS specific but which are required - for the port should be merged in gradually over time.
+The FreeBSD/MIPS Project is responsible for the + maintenance and development of FreeBSD on platforms using MIPS + processors. The port currently runs multi-user on a number of + platforms and a wide variety of processors.
- The project is always looking for additional contributors. If you - wish to participate, the best way to find out what is happening - is to subscribe to the freebsd-mips - mailing list. If you are working on a specific task - relating to the project, you should contact - jmallett@FreeBSD.org with a - description of the task so that your task can be listed - below.
+If you have code that you are interested in comitting, + you can send it for review to the freebsd-mips + mailing list.
