A project indeed!

Weirdbro and Digimer will hopefully be along with messages over the
few days - but in the meantime I do have some project-type stuff I'd
like to set on your plate.  I just can't do that quite yet...  Like
all of us, you have a diverse background - and one that I'd like to
leverage at that.  :P

As far as Atomic OS goes, everyone here is more-or-less an
All-Hands-Person.  Weirdbro is mostly helping me with JavaScript
hacking, and Digimer is interested in AOS as a front-end UI solution.
I'll be hacking on their input for the v0.1.0 release, which I intend
to release at the end of this month.

Is there anything in particular about Atomic OS that "turn's your
crank?"  By which I mean, Is there any one or two things in specific
that you'd like to work on?

Naturally we need JS hackers, but there's also some other critical
items to be looked at.  You have some history with SLAX and were the
author of MyDSL Maker (Personally my single-most-admired web-based
tool).  Would you be interested in taking on an AOS-specific
customized live CD?  Would you like to hack on the AOS code?

I won't ask for anyone to work on anything they don't want to or don't
feel comfortable with.  To avoid that situation I'd like to know what
part(s) of AOS you would like to work on.  ;-)


To all:  Things have been really crazy the last 8 months - everything
from getting really, really sick to the loss of my brother to a
decently publicized FOSS project (_this_ project).  I'll be away the
next few weekends, but momentum seems to be picking up.  My Google
Alerts are popping up new posts, comments, and opinions about Atomic
OS on a fairly regular basis.  I'd like to organize this like a
professional project -- even if we are doing it "part-time."  ;-)

Take care, and see you all in a few days!
- Scott.
