As someone who is just starting out in OS development (purely as a hobby project) I would find articles on this subject extremely useful. Whether it be something as complicated as hints for coding your own kernel to something as brief as an overview / review of student OSs to study and learn from. I'd love to write a few articles on this myself, but clearly 1 week of building my own kernel is not even remotely enough experience to write anything informative to others starting out (or even just a passing interest).

There are lots of articles on this, however, they are not all grouped together in a single page. You'll have to do some searcing. We've covered AtheOS, SkyOS, Syllable, Haiku, DragonflyBSD and several other "up-and-comers." If you use our search mechanis or Google, I'm sure you'll find them.

You don't understand me - I'm not on about articles about up-and-coming OSs - I'm on about informative articles for people who want to program /their own/ OS.
I've read pretty much every article you described in the last 6 months but very few of them contain any information which helps people like myself program their own OS from scratch. They're often very good for people who want to create a *nix distro or programming tools / hints for porting apps on to relatively minor OSs, but i'm on about articles aimed for programmers who want to build /their own/ OS.

Thank you - I will have a look at those books and links in greater depth tonight.
re my original question: I do still feel that with OSNews diversifying into other fields (such as hardware reviews) the odd article on OS development could be a useful addition to your archives. it's obviously your and Thom's call though
