It is at: http://www.alphalink.com.au/~zhulien/GENOS.htm If any other individual/organisation would like to take over maintenance or perhaps just mirroring this site, please contact me. Project Coordination ==================== A couple of things I would like to make everyone aware of. Although I have started this project, I am not the only person who is creating the ideas. I am not the owner of the project - there isn't one owner, but currently the driving force. Every individual/organisation involved in this project will eventually be part owners - even the one's who critise a lot - cause their critisisms are always listened to and can be constructive. Resources are one area that can be risky - if you are intending to get returns from your investment towards this project, there is not garauntee of that. Many people are doing this for fun, for their own personal learning, for ideas, for the possibilities of making the computing world a better one and for gaining knowledge and understanding about operating system concepts and different methods of implementing them. On the GENOS Website, there are a couple of tables of people from the mailing list and what roles within the project they have volunteered for. Currently there are many 'Possible Programmers' but I would like to know if anyone really would like to devote time to the project. Remember, nothing with this project is a commitment, so if you intend to now, but change your mind, that is OK. It is a 'commercial public' project. This project does not discriminate anyone. If you are not a programmer, but have asked to be on the mailing list because you would like to contribute something, read the 'Resources Needed' section, programmers only fall into a couple of the categories. If you would like a particular role in this project and 'hope' to fulfill this role, please let me know what it is. If there is a skill I have missed, let me know. The Next Stage ============== Currently I am working on the VML\HAL specification - the BASIC principles behind these will be sent out hopefully within this week for everyones comments, opinions and critisms. Hopefully some simple theoretical example's will also be given to demonstrate the usage of the HAL and VML. Regards Julian Cassin
