PortRequest is part of the NYCBug site; Michael Welsh coded it, receiving nothing in compensation. The idea is to connect people who find new tools with people who have the skill to create new ports. A potential port writer can browse the database looking for interesting ports to create. Hopefully an aspiring port developer will visit PortRequest, browse the queue, see that mwcollect looks interesting, and then create a port. We welcome your comments.: I noticed a great thread that discusses contributing to the ports tree, along with this Handbook article.”]
