I have some ideas for a mimimalist environment within which AtomOS could work. S'why I was asking about the backend stuff before. > Would you be interested in taking on an AOS-specific > customized live CD? Would you like to hack on the AOS code? Sure, on both counts. I have a bit of experience hacking on things like the backend bash daemons in Slax and Ubuntu that handle disk recognition, process throttling, etc (could be better done in Perl or C, but hey; not everyone does perl, and writing it in a compiled lingo means distributing the source). Also, I'm almost as browser quirks fluent as this guy<http://www.quirksmode.org/>(though I'm not a very good writer, so no book to my credit), with one exception: I'm better at XMLHttpRequest / iFrame / Script include wrangling (ie: I found out good ways to fall back to other techniques if XMLHttp isn't working and we're using JSON). So, I'd really like to have a stab at debugging cross-browser compatibility issues. I'd also like to have a hand in separation of design / presentation / structure / content / behavior of the OS (I've become pretty practiced in it, so far). Oh, if anyone wants to see some stuff I've done recently: http://wwwdev.wharton.upenn.edu/alumni (what I do at my real job - on the development server 'cos it won't be live 'till monday. Take a look at the JS for the navmenu and the tabbed boxes; they're great examples of how I do JS OOP). http://www.fordi.org/comics (the neat little dock at the bottom is my work; the pages are stuff I like to look at. For some reason, I'm not fond of bookmarks. I'm actually working on it; a '+' symbol to add a link, and a nice interface for choosing the image) -- Bryan Elliott for...@gm... http://www.fordi.org |
