If you produce a substantially better kernel than ATLAS presently has, we hope that you will contribute it to the ATLAS project. Code submissions and discussions of this type should take place on the atlas-comm@cs.utk.edu mailing list. Anyone can sign up for this list, and we hope that interested parties will correspond using it. In this way someone interested in supplying a particular enhancement to ATLAS can find if someone else is already working on it, find interested collaborators, get coding help from a wider pool than with the standard atlas mailing list, etc.
