+== Tracking FlightGear RAM/VRAM Utilization ==
+{{FGCquote|1= We've been resurrecting and extending an old patch to track FlightGear resource utiliation (primarily RAM and VRAM for the time being), and are hoping to extend the patch over time - currently, this is specific to Linux and has only been tested with NVIDIA GPUs. So we're now looking for people who are able to build from source (e.g. using the Superbuild and/or the fgbuild script), who are willing to help integrate/test and develop this for platforms to which we don't have access ourselves.
+For starters, this would involve posting your HELP/ABOUT dialog info here (screen shots and/or via clipboard will do).
+Next, we would ask you to apply patches to a git branch ($FG_SRC only for now) and report back with the results.
