Call for participation: ReactOSDbg

[art yerkes]

I've written a shell to use with ReactOS' KDBG that gives a more accurate
view of what's going on than other methods available to us (it automatically
grabs the module list and loads source files as appropriate, shows locals etc)

It's not complete yet, and I'm hoping that others will want to participate in
working on it.  Therefore, I'm asking those with C# experience on windows who
want to get involved to lend a hand in adding the remaining features:

- abstract pipe implementation for serial ports and windows named pipes
- managing breakpoints
- type decoding and struct display using the info available from dbghelp
- thread and process listing and focus
- a 'watch' window and watchpoints
- clipboard interaction
- annontated disassembly
- general features (bugzilla reporting, automatic interaction with rospaste)

To work on this, you don't need to be a wizard, just familiar with windows
forms development in C# and willing to learn a thing or two along the way,
along with a vm to intstall reactos in and beat up on :-)

Some day we'll have everything working with windows style kernel debugging,
but until then I feel that a superior stopgap is valuable.

I am have some Java experience and worked with C# some. I would be

i ~kinda (cough cough) know a little C#/.net and may help a little bit (i
