 Permalink for comment 435043 Member since:  I believe that they
are way too fast to announce something. They didn't make a poll
to ask for ideas.  But I don't think there are a viable amount
of volunteers to keep up with all the code in the OS.  I agree
but they can re use code. Fiasco.OC or Genode OS can re-use code
at the kernel level. They can reimplement Opensolaris on top of
them. L4Env is agood candidate and they can re-use LINUX-DDEkit
or improve FREEBSD-DDEkit. They could also create their own
OSOL-DDEkit. My take is to use directly IOKit and port all the
drivers there but  1. I cannot estimate porting time since it
uses mach and not L4 (possibly not that difficult) 2. Licencing
is another setback.  You minimize the volunteers needed in such
ways. This is what is traditionally done at the applications
level.  Edited 2010-08-02 07:21 UTC  Reply Parent Score: 0
