Syllable, AtheOS 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.

Could it be, that he needed time-off?

I've done the very same in the past, I coded my buns off for months on end, then take a break. It's not uncommon and if the weather is nice outside, it's very tempting to go play. ;)

I'd give him more time and it doesn't hurt to go and fork the project. Those who do fork it, would have a better understanding of how AtheOS works. Plus, you'd see how much time and dedication it takes to develop/support the platform.
