   Why not ask to be a V11 implementor? I believe there is a bootstrap
   server by some DECWRL people that is supposed to be easy to bring up.

Ok I would like to become a V.11 implementor.

I am currently working on two ports of X.V10R4.  The first is
relatively simple port I've been running for some time on a 32016
based Mono workstation (no rasterop in is libraries!).  The other is
to a fast (specialised bitslice engine) with a 40Mega Pixels/sec
rasterop in hardware and colour.  The former I coded myself from
scratch the later I'm drawing heavily on libibm from X.V10R4.

So I have access to specialised and quite different hardware (the
bitslice engine is a great machine to get any code on since it has a
rather unique architecture which quickly shows any machine
dependancies in programs!).  I've had experience working on getting
early releases of software working (I was the nut who got GNU Emacs to
work under 4.1 BSD).  I've access to ARPAnet (I nag a friend).

I would like to make the ports V.11.  Since I will have to
put up V.11 sooner or later on both these I guess it may as well be
sooner and allow everyone who follows to profit from what I find.
