Wayne,
You know, I've meet personally with Bernd Korz, even had dinner with
the guy. He was very decent and many friends worked for yT. Its sad
to see what happened to them, I don't think I'll ever see Bernd
again. Anyway, Haiku is growing fast, even firefox is running now...
maybe this year or the next we'll achieve a beta or something like that.
And yes, I was bugging Bernd and others since forever to create a
good language such as an xTalk for the system, I told him that a
platform is as strong as its developers base, that is true for the
Newton that has such strong developers that without Newton OS source
or help from apple, they were able to add FAT support, Web Servers,
Wifi, even an emulator... and they are now planning for colors,
COLORS!!!!
we need more languages such as rev on niche operating system, if the
users are not promoted to creative users/developers, there's no
chance for them to survive...

Hello Folks,
I am pleased to say that I was accepted as a student in the google
summer of code program. For those that don't know, the summer of code
is an initiative from google that works like this: Google approve a
number of mentoring organizations, students submit projects to this
organizations, some students are selected and will pass the summer
implementing such project, and google pays for it! :-D
This year 6,200 students applied and ~900 were selected, and I am one
of them!!!! :-D
I will be working with the Haiku Operating System project <http://
haiku-os.org> which was a pet project of mine since forever. Haiku is
a free implementation of an OS that is binary compatible with BeOS
from Be Inc and it is much like old BeOS. My task will be implement a
network preferences application, like the network settings prefs
panel from Mac OS X. Haiku has a young tcp/ip stack and while Haiku
is a full blown GUI Operating System, it lacks such preference panel.
I'll spend the next summer implementing that (as well as my other
projects and contracts).
