Hi

I've just begun working on a new FAM release in my spare time.

The things I'd like to accomplish are:
- rewrite manual pages
- rewrite autoconf scripts
- provide generic Monitor interface instead of IMon interface

When you say "generic interface", will this be in-kernel or userland? After the poor perfomance experienced from DNotify, I hope something faster will be implimented.

BTW, I'm the gentoo developer who has been carrying the Imon patch into later kernels. All I did was to resolve conflicts from the last "offical" patch in the most logical manner possible. I can't be sure if there were other areas added that needed fixing up. However, FWICT, the interface seems to be working fine. I'll see about fixing up a patch against a vanilla kernel 2.4.20 and 2.4.21-pre7, however it would be nice if the former IMon author would check it for accuracy and completeness.

Cheers,
Nicholas
