So what ever happened to this? I thought it was a great idea! Why has everything stopped? I would still support the idea.

Hi there. I stumbled apon this site by means of websurfing, but that's not important.
If you all need a website, I can provide you with just that. I have a website, uas.cc, that I can give you guys a subdomain for, such as http://achelous.uas.cc, if you'd like. Of course there would be no charge, and I'd set up phpnuke or whatever you'd like for it, including a mysql db.
I'm not asking for...

Is anybody going to use the released X11 source for OS X?.

The reason Mac apps behave like Mac apps is becuase they are designed to do so. Aqua is not a skin. You can't recompile apps and magically make them not suck.
Also linuxstep doesn't do what you think. That dead project was something else entirely. The Mac filesystem (HFS+) has a number of user interface improvments most notably FileIDs. I don't know any other filesystem which supports them.

Why do people talk shit they know nothing about?
Carbon is an API. It doesn't "runs the old os9 apss". Classic runs the old software, not Carbon.
MOST Mac OS X apps link to Carbon. CoreFoundation even links to Carbon in order to use FSRefs. Carbon is also the only API which currently supports things like Aliases, FileIDs, keychain, etc.

oh yeah one more thing... you may wish to consider using LINUXstep, it seems to be trying to build a linux filesystem that will act like the mac filesystem.. looks VERY interesting.

the important thing to remember here is that almost every linux app is open source, just get a basic desktop made, once that's done and you have the gui library framework ready, then you can just grab apps such as x-chat, gnomeicu etc and give em the new interface, to make those sorts of apps compliant with your interface, you can always remap commands.... shouldn't take long as you have SOURCE...

ok, how about this, before you can really capture the look and feel of the mac apps through a specification, you'll have to provide a groundwork, no one will just choose to use apps using an aqua look/feel because they can, you should get a display server working, then move straight into the desktop, gett the desktop up and running, have your startmenu or mac equivalent, your finder, your dock...

Carbon should be left out of thi altogether you'll never be able to get that to work... carbon runs the old os9 apss afaik and they'll require a powerpc cpu as they won't be compileable, the OSX native apps will also need recoding, this IS a good project though... i'm sure a decent user interface can be made, you could always base it on one of the nextstep linux clones and take it from there, if...

Achelous Revive, huh? *LOL*
A message from 2002-03-22 and nothing happend?
Anybody wants to write an OS compatible with Mac OS X?
Go and write the Carbon API (I can't do it, since I'm not a programmer). No endless discussion which kernel to use.
There are a bunch of free unix-like kernels out there. There's also GNUStep. All those projects are developed indipendently.
If a...
