Hi there,

I just happened to read the ./docs/contributing.txt and found the lines:

---
... there are some applets that will not be accepted:

  - Any partitioning tools:

  - Any daemons that are not essential to basic system operation. To date, only
    syslogd and klogd meet this requirement. We do not need a web server, an
    ftp daemon, a dhcp server, a mail transport agent or a dns resolver...
---

Hmmm. We do have fdisk, httpd, udhcpc and udhcpd and many more.
Maybe someone should update this document.
Has the plan changed?
What is needed for the future of busybox?
How about putting a "list of wishes" into thge CVS?

Thanks,

Steven
