What's the go with code samples on the Wiki... I know there's a lot of things that can be really confusing without code on the Wiki and it would be nice if there was the availability of code on the wiki for assistance. I'd be happy to donate parts of my code to assist.

If you think it will improve the wiki, i suggest you go ahead.

I know very well what that does - what is your point?

Maybe it would be good to start creating a temporary subsection that would contain all external exemplary code (like from osdever.net) and work formally on own code in the rest of the place; this could help to have an extensive mirror to code samples nearby.

It's a bit vague, but it's a bit more "descriptive" then most of the guides available..
Still, that page could use a few cleanups.. possible rewording.. and a list of files you "added" and/or modified
Nice work though....
(
If only it was easier to port one of the BSD C libraries )

If I had have found this tutorial I would have been reasonably happy with it. I leave a lot up to the person reading it to understand - I prefer not to spoon feed a reader.
And yes, more descriptive, thanks to my unfortunate experiences during the past week...

Great tutorial. As to my knowledge, I don't believe the wiki has a section for libraries at all. (There's mention of it, but it's somewhat generic.) It could fit in tutorials, however.
I would be more interesting in creating a library section. That way we could have more articles about porting the different libraries, general information about them, etc. Kind of like we have Executable formats and Compilers.

If it's possible could someone move it from my user page into a different place where it is more suited? I don't quite know where to put it
, but I'm sure my user page is not the best place for it.

Done. However, I think a section on Libraries still needs to be addressed.

I just made a few changes to make it fit better..
Welcome to change it back if it looks bad though.
