Reportedly, Kurt Skauen hasn't work on
AtheOS for the last 9 months, as he currently taking some long vacations away from his pet project. All this time, a lot of dissapointments have been expressed in the (dying)
mailing list about the future of AtheOS, already a (semi-)fork has occured with Cosmoe, but still no word from Kurt if or when he will start working on AtheOS again.
Update: It seems that a
complete fork has already happen, created by some of the main third party AtheOS developers.
Why isn't a fork done on AtheOS to continue the OS work without Kurt. I mean, a fork that is a full fork, not a semi fork like Cosmoe. From what I read, this isn't Kurt's first vacation. Plus Kurt is like Mosfet, anti-collabration. So I wonder, if a few guys group up and continue developing AtheOS free from Kurt, that could be a good thing.
