Hihi. Very strange, indeed. :-)

Such thing like this, I meant. But there is only the stuff which is shipped
with the Ethernut.
Let's say I wrote a simple thing like an "ping". Should I put it in that CVS
tree or is this only for NutOS itself. (brr. CVS, I think sooner or later I
have to learn about it)

Hm, am I such a type. Since I wrote some things for Ethernut already, I hope
not. Maybe I can submit some things, but where?
The documentation of NutOS itself is ok I think. If you need some support in
filling and organizing the Wiki a bit, maybe I can help a bit. Maybe there
are a few more "Newbies" who are looking for better documentation who help
in a little documentation "project"

We use MediaWiki at our company for a few weeks. Indeed it looks somewhat
nicer. And it is very simple to add content.

I am not so much a Linux man, so there I cannot offer some help.

I can offer a "ping", a "WOL", a commandline parser and a simple UDP
Receiver task whichreceives a bitmap and displays it on a big LED matrix
screen. Currently I am planning a little email2sms gateway.

Hm, I have to look, if such nice things exist in MediaWiki, too.

I will try it,
thank you
