Syllable, AtheOS The Syllable team makes strides these days on their AtheOS fork, and most of the AtheOS developers have joined Vanders and Rick to their quest of a better operating system. OSNews reader Daryl Dudey joined the Syllable team recently, and he already wrote a nice networking preference panel for Syllable. The team is still looking for a kernel developer though, or C++ developers who like writting low level system software. On a related hobby-OS note, SkyOS made its first steps into the SMP world.

Hey, my first front page mention! ;) Thanks Eugenia.

Syllable is starting to gather some real momentum now, we have a wiki set up and the ideas are really flowing now, the mailing lists are reasonably quiet at the moment because everybody is coding away (hopefully!)

As far as my networking app goes, the code I am working on now is working now and coming along very nicely. I have got some ideas that should make it a core part of the networking subsystem, mainly that it will be capable of bringing up interfaces on boot and detecting new interfaces.

I have to say, to those who haven't tried it, Syllable feels very nice to actually use. Boots fast, runs quickly. There are a lot of areas that need work but thats just a matter of time and hard work.
