want list of platforms and GitHub IDs for users who can test on platforms for Maiko

[masinter]

When Maiko changes, we currently don't have a way of testing systems. For example when we make a new version of Maiko, how can we make sure the changes will work on HaikoOS. Get a list of OSs and platforms.

Also at 9/16/24 meeting we also discussed having a porting guide (see discussion 10:20)

I regularly build Medley on Linux Mint and less regularly on ARM64 Raspberry Pi OS.

I see that what the SDL project does is build and test on every OS they support (and variations on the compilers on those systems) in QEMU virtual machines - it looks as though it's done on github runners, and I exepct it's using a lot of CPU time.

I was thinking of the complement for "systems we support/build automatically" to keep track of others, a list of:

• "system tested or ported to"
• "date of testing"
• "maiko version"
• "os version"
• contact info
• notes or pointer to notes/discussion/PR ?

maybe as a Google Sheet ? Or a GitHub issue/discussion?

Another possible tool for the list is the GitHub Wiki which can be edited collaboratively.

We could reopen the medley wiki but it is yet another site with limited controls
