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.
Well...
This is a good example of how good opensource is. If one man leaves his project, then other people taking up the project and create it to a new project for them! I think it is good... not that he left the project, but that he allow people go create there own thing of the code!
