Dennis here...

Yes, its been very quiet lately!

I've been directing my efforts towards "Moose", which (I think you all have
approved of) is the name of just the kernel portion of the operating system.
I'm almost finished with a document which will (hopefully) help give this
project the direction it needs.  To come before the actual specs, its a
proposal stating *why* we're working on this project (that was the easy part),
*what* it will contain (size and speed requirements, functionality overview),
and *when* we plan to do it all.

It's finished except for the *when* aspect and some minor details in the *what*
section.  Expect it the end of next week (5/23 at the latest).


Sorry about the slow pace, but I've got a lot going on in addition to Moose -
work, studying for the GREs, etc...guaranteed I've already spent a few nights
snarfing pizza until 2 in the morning (last night was one) trying to make
everying come together.  I'm still driven by this project, and still very
dedicated to making it work out.

And I'd still like to have a working kernel done by the end of the year. (wink)


So...about those device drivers you're all working on?  Remember?
