All the services have now been moved to SourceForge.net, with the
notable lack of our tickets. We've got new milestones in place. I took
the liberty of revising our milestone schedule in regards to our first
demonstration release which will feature a basic SharpOS kernel with
input/output support and a few basic console commands. A few things
the commands could do:

list-devices -- list automatically detected devices
show-log -- show the kernel log
kernel-info -- show kernel info, the name, version, and ADC layer /
processor compiled for
cpu-info -- show CPU info as obtained from the ADC layer

More commands could be used to interact with subsystems as we get them
running, such as drivers, filesystems, human input, display etc. We
could include a small text console game or something as well.

Most of this can be reused for a rescue console which we could compile
as a separate DLL and "add-in" during AOT compilation, so if you
wanted to include support for a rescue console, you would do

SharpOS.AOT.exe SharpOS.Kernel.dll SharpOS.RescueConsole.dll

And the second milestone is now what used to be our first milestone:
completion of the AOT on the X86 platform. Beyond this I haven't set
anything up, but I think the logical choice would be to complete an
initial version of the real-life functional kernel with a runtime,
support for SIP/HIP processes, message passing / buffer IPC, and an
API to communicate with the kernel. From there we can start writing
applications and drivers for various hardware.

What do you all think about the roadmap? Changes, gripes, thoughts in general?
