Hey everyone,
I just put up the avr-corelib webpage (http://www.nongnu.org/avr-libc/avr-corelib/), which has the style guidelines we all hashed out a few months ago. It's pretty refined, except for how error messages work, but I think we'll have a better idea of that once we actually code a few modules, which bring us to....
Our first modules! I think we should start with two modules so that it gives us an idea of the differing challenges and requirements that different functionality will require. We've already started talking a little about SPI, so let's make that one of the modules. Given that everyone has a lot of ideas, but little time, I would like to propose that the second module be anything (fairly simple) that someone is passionate about and would be willing to lead development on. It can range from something as simple as a ring buffer to more complex like an A/D module. If possible, I'd like to get some more people involved in this because I believe it will create a better library (so tell your friends!).
A good jumping off point for the SPI library is Ron Kreymbourg's thread about an SPI implementation from this list (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/avr-libc-corelib/2009-09/msg00022.html). It's late now, but I'll work on getting out an API that we more-or-less agree on in the next few days.
