Hello Alexandru,
I'm a GSoC 2012 HelenOS aspirant. After toying around with the OS I've noticed (hope that it's not "haven't looked deep into it") some things I think could be improved, in the short time available until deadline:
Note that the hard deadline of April 6 19:00 UTC is for the GSoC student applications. We will spend some time evaluating the proposals after the deadline, thus there will be still a few extra days you can use to send your patches to our mailing list.
I am not writing this to endorse laziness, only to make sure that you don't have to work under stress. A clean well-thought contribution sent a little bit later is better than a hurried sub-standard contribution.
1) I've seen it has been previously proposed, but couldn't a patch be applied in order to facilitate console scrolling? 2) What if Alt+Fn key combination is not available on the keyboard? Couldn't a way of registering a key combination be possible? something along the line of : rgk (register keys) <combination>
The proposal 1) might be more interesting for the practical purposes, but I don't want to dismiss your proposal 2). The implementation of the proposal 2) might be a little bit easier, but you will still need to deal with multiple servers to implement this. Please choose according to your own preferences.
Note that HelenOS virtual consoles are switched by just Fn currently. M.D. _______________________________________________ HelenOS-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.modry.cz/cgi-bin/listinfo/helenos-devel
