http://www.linux.org.uk. There is not yet a mailing list but that should
follow as soon as its better packaged as a developable setup. At the moment
this is basic task switching and putting the IRQ handlers and console in

patches onto it and attempt binary compatiblity...

Long long way to go yet.
