Due to the lack of regularly scheduled development on the project, combined
with the fact that there has still been development, I was hoping that a few
of the people involved with changes in the trunk could put together
summaries of what they have been working on for the last several months.
The majority of commits have been done by tgiphil - and some of those are
larger than they appear because they are merges from sandboxes. LogicalError
has also been doing lots of refactoring-type work (based on me just skimming
through SVN logs since April). And mrfl has been posting some changes. (Is
that grover?)
I think the best way for us to move forward is for us to get an idea of what
you guys have been tinkering with. I mean, I can compile and run the kernel
- and other than some instabilities (which we've always had, but they've
certainly changed over time it seems), running the kernel in and of itself
does not reveal much about the changes ("listresources" command is
fascinating, but sometimes it makes QEmu lock up...). And frankly, I can't
make heads or tails of the architecture from looking at the code anymore.
(Which is from enthusiastic efforts on each of you all's parts, but largely
seemingly uncoordinated.)
So what I'm really asking is - can each of you three, please take some time
to tell us about your work on SharpOS recently? We have the development
blog, which has sat untouched since obsethryl's interview. LogicalError
already has posting priveleges - so if grover (mrfl?) and tgiphil could send
me, privately, a Google Account alias of yours, (feel free to create one, or
just send me a personal e-mail of yours that you want to sign in to blogger
for SharpOS with), I'll get you guys posting privileges.
After which, I would ask that each of you spend the time, say about an hour,
and write up an article on what you've been working on, and more
importantly, why. Where it is going. What you want to see happen. And then
you can e-mail the mailing list to let us know when you are finished,
(preferably linking to the post), so that we can restore an organic feeling
of what is going on here.
If you have time for graphics and diagrams, don't let me stop you. However,
I'm really thinking all we need is baseline textual thoughts. Mention some
classes you've written, some paradigms you are trying to apply, etc. I'm
hoping it will make up for a lack of Redmine and
regularly-attended-and-documented SharpOS meetings for the last 4 months.
