I've always been curious about how things work. When I was little, I annoyed my parents with millions of
questions. Why is the sky blue? How does water come out of the tap when you open it? Maybe I was born without the
mental switch that lets you be happy with using something, without trying to figure out how it works.

I agree, many "little, alternative" OSes have been written for educational purpose (that's why many of them are relased under Open Source licenses).
What i can't understand is why this knowledge is *not* shared.
Well... i try to explain it better:
- Many of this OSes dies quickly due to development lacks;
- one developer os have no future;
- knowledgle (books, docs, etc) are easy to find, but too mutch scattered on the net;
We (me, qStone and K J) started an ambitious project: create a great OS Development Portal for all open source operating systems, in order to help developers in collabation, sharing ideas, techniques, knowledge and anything they needs. A "SourceForge-like" portal but devoted to Open Source Operating Systems.
We hope this will help all the growing OSes to become usable & mature.
To reach this goal we need PHP skilled developers, web designers & surfers.
If you're interested, do not hesitate to write me.
