Well, the Viva file system, for example. Interesting extensions to the file system to reduce the special cases in the API (for example, replacing time() with a read() from /dev/time). That sort of stuff. It's been something I've wanted to get into forever, and one of the reasons I got into the Amiga (since it has the hooks for this sort of thing). But if the kernel interface is going to change on 0.2, I don't have any reason to expect woon't on 0.3, 0.4, and so on. PLUS, a lot of this work is using BSDI as a base (frankly, it's a lot more stable). The rest seems to be personal, so I'll refrain from continuing. -- Peter da Silva. <peter@sugar.neosoft.com>. `-_-' Oletko halannut suttasi tänään? 'U` Tarjoilija, tämä ateria elää vielä.
