The Shell, or command-line interpretor, development has began and we are expective to finish the version to be included with the Alpha by 11/17.
SonicOSX has begun its research and development portion, after deciding to use portions of OSKIT and finishing our design document. Portions of this internal document will be available on our Document page soon.
Currently, SonicOSX is still in planning with the Design Document being written. It is still not decided 100% if we will used OSKIT, so Stay tuned for a decision on that.
OSKIT-20010214, http://www.cs.utah.edu/flux/oskit , has been uploaded. This is the unmodified version so anyone who wants to get it can download it and see what SonicOSX will be based on. Also, it is available for download on their site.
