actually, if you minus off the routers and their (outdated) uclibc,
there are not many pure uclibc distro around. count them! :-)

so I would say more uclibc based and up to date distros could
encourage more participation in the shape of users' feeback.

the fundamental thing to be changed then would be:
bring/accept users' feedback in, not just developpers'.

(a forum is not just good enough: you need to log in, track it, etc...)

> 9.) How do you use your uClibc system?

to do linux/distro/c/c++ development.

my main usage today is with DetaolB, which I consider a small
payback tribute to uclibc's community: the intent is to showcase
what the latest uclibc can do.

example: firefox works well with uclibc-0.9.29.
Did you know about it ? (yes, if you followed buildroot progress)

I remember in 2002/2003, we used to report each new tool that
could be compiled/used with uclibc. We need to find back this
spirit.

closer & closer to 10 after each new release (hint)
