Since we are starting to get some notice, we decided to put the wiki back up. I’m going to try and find some time soon to get some spec pages put in. While doing that, I am also going to brush up on my X11 and shell programming. I want to start getting something setup. I’ll probably get a Google Code repo setup or just use the SVN repo I already have on Dreamhost.
Hope to see you guys on the forum/wiki!
Well, I’ve been busy. That’s the jist of it. Logged into the forums, had 280+ spam topics to clear out… and 1 legit post. But I am glad to see more and more activity, even if going slowly. It has a pulse though.
Anyways, now that there is some activity, we need to start making progress (regardless of how small) to turn this into reality. IE, we need to start specing out details such as screen layouts, communication protocols, storage systems, etc. Although I want this to start out on top of a linux distro (in my case, ubuntu), I want this to eventually branch off and be an entirely new distro. Once there is enough content, I’ll put the Wiki backup so we can have a central location for it all and expand upon it.
An update to the forum rules as well. You MUST have an account to post and MUST have a previously posted comment to prevent being moderated. That should kill off most spam.
I look forward to working with all of you and making this a reality.
Alright, I know I keep moving around on things, but I swear I’m making progress!! This time, instead of working on the kernel itself, I’m just going to build a system using LFS (Linux From Scratch) and build a shell in it. I’m running through the BASH 4.0 code to figure out how to do things. I’ll adjust my scripts so that instead of calling the login program on boot, it calls the shell instead. I know, could cause problems, but hey, we can’t have solutions without problems right?
Anyways, I’ll install a Wiki on a subdomain soon and start tabbing out the specs and what I wish to accomplish. I’ll see if I can link the wp_users and mediawiki login together to simplifiy things. No need having 2 logins for one site right?
I’ll also start pulling stuff from other sites (giving credit where credit is due) and requesting comments and what not. For all those visiting, please leave comments and let me know your opinions.
