I hope there'll be some more documentation, soon. I don't know how you
guys communicate during development, but e.g. a public mailing
list/newsgroup/forum would be tremendously cool to track down your
design/implementation decisions and such (doesn't really make sense if
you're sitting next to each other, communicating vocally, of course).
Ad comments..mhm.. I got a few questions, if you don't mind :)
- Did you guys try to make the build process work with DSSS entirely?
- Where there approaches to get rid of assembly and/or C?
- How's the memory footprint (what's the minimum amount of memory you
have to give your virtual machine so that Grub still loads the kernel)?
- ..important question: Why 64 bit? (just interested in your decisions,
as you might have guessed :) )
- Why exokernel? Why not micro?
.. I think that's it for now. :)
Best regards,
Alex
P.S.: Keep up the good work!
