Hello,

I was browsing the Ideas page for ways to contribute to BSD.
I came across this (which does not have any contact, I think).

If it is still open, I wanted to check if I could try to do this.

Briefly - I am in IT, and have been using UNIX since grad school in the
early 90s (Solaris, briefly Ultrix/Aix and then different Linuxes
and MacOS). C/C++/Java programming, scripting, installs, etc... and various
other stuff.

I want to give it a shot if you all think that is ok.

Thanks a lot

   - *Integrate the atrun(8) functionality into cron(8), as it was done in
   NetBSD.*

   - *Strong knowledge of the C language and Unix API.*
