Dear Anand,

To this end, we have set up an x-loader git tree on gitorious, and seeded it with Steve Sakoman's x-loader tree [1] as of 15 December 2010. (Thanks Steve for unifying so much of the forked code, and getting rid of the dependency on u-boot, and more!).

Deva and I have volunteered to maintain the x-loader code - everyone is welcome to contribute and help make it better. (This is our first attempt at maintaining a software project - so any help is appreciated).
May I ask what your goal is for such a project?
You mentioned that x-loader was derived from U-Boot, and shares some code. What is the benefit from maintaining it as a separate project?
You write "getting rid of the dependency on u-boot", and try to make this sound as an advantage. Is this really the case? Or did you just cut off your feed from upstream?
Would it not make more sense to merge it into the U-Boot tree, so it gets maintained as one project, and code is automatically kept in sync?
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
