I have been taking a sebatical from freeBSD after puting my marriage a 
bit too close to the
 line than I like.. :-)
 but one of my next things to look at is teh USB code..
I've already been in there a bit and will be getting in again with a few 
others who have shown
interest as soon as:

1/ I've spent enough time at home with the kids/wife to keep that side 
balanced..
2/ work settles down
3/ the 5.3 push is over.

We have about 6 people who have shown interest in USB and we should be 
starting up a mailing
 list soon (who's doing that?) which should help.
In addition we need expertise in newbus, CAM/SIM to help us get those 
sides of things in order.

It needs more than a small touchup..
