Given I have quite a bit of Cocoa development work underway on Apple and DirectX7 drivers were needed urgently under Windows it feels a little that things Linux haven't had much attention at Blitz Research.

Priority wise I'd say on the Linux jobs front there sits:

* compiling in embedded firefox / gtk widget (IDE online help)

* some form of packaged distribution for the popular distros that describes the x86vm(fullscreen) gl/glu(graphics) and stdc++6.0(legacy gcc) linking requirements

* ALSA sound driver

If anyone wants to lend a hand with any of these tasks free to email me.

I can provide some pointers for the ALSA driver, the package stuff needs someone with a bit more history of the Linux universe than I have and the Firefox widget I only just saw in action today in the distribution of some most excellent software I was playing with today ( Houdini Apprentice from www.sidefx.com ) so was quite chuffed an HTML browser solution for the IDE wasn't infact going to be that hard after all, whether BMK is up to the job of compiling a FireFox module may be another matter but i can provide some basic GTK2 code to get you started...
