+## Goals and Roadmap ##
+Overall, the goal of this project is to write a relatively POSIX-compatible OS from the ground up. With a focus on generic hardware functionality and universal specifications like VESA, I hope to eventually get something fairly complete in terms of what an OS should be. At some times, I may focus on an actual piece of complex hardware (I am looking to write a basic driver for Intel graphics cards based on the X driver and the Mesa components), but in general, I will stick to generic interfaces.
+
+### Basic Goals ###
+* Create a working modular monolithic kernel capable of executing arbitrary ELF binaries
+* Write, from scratch, a C standard library using past experience in writing standard library functions
+* Support POSIX threads
+* Implement an existing file system, specifically EXT2
+* Be able to manipulate VESA modes to run at an optimal resolution for graphics
+* Handle basic networking on a virtual Ethernet device (DHCP, TCP, etc.)
+
+### Loftier Goals ###
+Some things are far easier said than done, but I like to say them anyway. The time span for these depends greatly on how quickly the basic goals are completed and can range anywhere from a few months to years from now.
+
+* Create a working implementation of Wayland under VESA (will be slow)
+* Port Qt (under Wayland) and some Qt apps
+* Support audio in a way that doesn't suck like Linux's mess of libraries and mixers
+* Various hardware-specific drivers (primarily for my T410):
+    * Intel graphics driver, with acceleration so Wayland isn't slow
+    * Realtek wireless driver, with WPA2
+    * Specific drivers for the Thinkpad itself (or just acpi?)
+
+### Roadmap ###
+Currently, I have a kernel capable of reading its multiboot parameters, which is terribly un-useful. The current, ordered, plan of attack is as follows:
+
+* Finish James M's tutorial (second half), which covers:
+    * Paging
+    * Heap
+    * VFS
+    * Initial RAM Disk (except I'll probably use my own format for the directory structure)
+    * Multitasking
+    * User mode
+* Finish basic kernel functionality
+    * Loading ELF binaries and executing them in user mode
+    * Complete system call table
+    * Get a better semblance of users and groups
+* Write a file system driver for a real file system
+    * Target is EXT2, but might do FAT
+    * Move OS development images to some form of virtual drive (VDI or something QEMU compatible)
+* Implement a VESA mode handler
+    * Requires a Virtual 8086 monitor
+    * Need to be able to use graphics modes and still have output, so write a framebuffer terminal
+* Complete libc
+    * Enough to run basic unix tools...
+* Port some basic UNIX tools
+    * a shell (bash and zsh, because I like bash, but the office uses zsh)
+    * ls, mv, rm, etc.
+    * here's a real test: perl
+* Implement networking
+    * IPv4
+    * Ethernet driver for QEMU or VirtualBox
+
+*Anything beyond this point is part of the 'Loftier Goals' section*
+
+* Wayland compositor
+    * based on specifications for a Wayland environment
+    * Port some of the Wayland sample applications
+    * Write my own!
+* Port Qt
+    * Specifically, for Wayland
+    * Qt is huge and has its own standard library, might need more extensive libc
+    * Need to support C++-built stuff, so will probably need a C++ stdlib.
+* Audio drivers
+    * Maybe before Qt?
+    * Should support software mixing at least, hardware under a virtual machine, maybe my Intel hw
