I'm biased, for obvious reasons, but I think that we'd be better
served by continuing progress on JJOS/decaf. The coding effort involved
in connecting the OSKit native services with Java (especially in a way
that's portable back to JJOS/decaf), I think, is substantial enough (i.e.
take long enough) that would be more efficient to go ahead and do in java
on JJOS/decaf. In particular, integration with classpath or the the
garbage collector are both enourmously important tasks that will make
JJOS/decaf an order of magnitude more useful.
I'll take this opportunity to apologize for not getting any of the
work I said I'd do done so far. Various and sundry hardware difficulties
caused by a set of upgrades have been plaguing me all weekend.
