My interest is just to get involved somehow in the NCG. Starting a new backend seemed reasonable only because I couldn't break something that didn't exist. ;-) Though cleaning up the NCG would probably be more educational for me. So if that's desired then I'll get involved there.

Cheers,
Corey

I mean next year.  I'm hoping to start hacking on it and a few other ncg related tasks early January with about 1-2 evenings of regularly scheduled work on it. 

So feel welcome to do a Ppc validate anyways in the mean time :-)

Dude, you have 7 days! Or did you mean next year :-).

As soon as that NCG cleanup is ready for public consumption, please
let me know so I can validate the PowerPC NCG. I think I am one of
the few people who regularly builds GHC on PowerPC and even I haven't
done it for two weeks because I just moved house.
