[Savannah-register-public] [task #4037] Submission of Gnosis

Follow-up Comment #4, task #4037 (project administration):



Take a look at parts 2.2 and 5 of the apsl.

The source code isn't available yet, i.e Gnomes source code is available but
I havn't built it into a usable OS by adding the parts that are needed.  I
still need to work on combining the drivers, to the gnome desktop and develop
the bindings, then I've got to provide gnome with a hardware abstraction
layer, a bootloader, an actual Kernel (I chose Linux because it is free
software), the internals of the gnome shell, i.e the graphics subsystem,
multimedia subsystem, pnp subsystem, application drivers/servers, a
filesystem, package management and installation subsystem (Other applications
can do the actual installation, but gnome doesn't have the system to do this
itself because it relies on the package management system of the distro for
this to be done), additional modules for the gnome controlcenter need to be
created in order for the user to be able to manipulate the hardware at their
disposal, an antivirus scanner for the software installation module, as well
as a system restore module for when things go pear-shaped, and all of this is
going to take time.

I need someplace where I can dump news and release information about
developments, call for assistance on developments, and pretty much provide
links to where the source code can be obtained.  I am hoping that as I am
doing this parts will be taken and used by the gnome community to make the
desktop (better).  I amn't going to release what I don't have at this moment,
If I am using hfs++ (www.opendarwin.org)as my base filesystem I still need to
write code for nautilus to handle it, If I decide to go with jfs 
http://jfs.sourceforge.net, i'll still need to write code for Nautilus to be
able to manage it, Because all of that is done through the Linux Kernel on a
usual distro, through reiserfs.

And yes I completely agree to any and all requirements that you have
regarding my project.  

I'll shall place attachments of my code as and when I develop it if that
suits you?  As of just now I am just trying to get my architechture right
before I start coding, so that I don't have to go back and start from scratch
due to bugs or other issues.
