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.
I really feel that though you guys are not aiming for BeOS compatbility, their are tons of projects that are going to be having similar APIs thateither working togetehr onm APIs or even combing the GUI efforts would be best for all.
As for browsers, Cosmoe shows how close AtheOS is to beOS, why not try out the Mozilla port to BeOS, BeZilla. Though its lways ncie to have a lightweight alternative like Galeon for GNOME, K-Meleon for Windows, the OS X one, etc
