Raw Blame History

TODO for 0.4.0 Distribution Release

  • CD support
    • Boot from "CD"
    • Distribute with Grub
    • CD image generator in-repo
  • User Interface
    • Graphical Login
    • More applications
  • Stable Harddisk writes
    • Screenshot functionality
    • Attempt an installer?

TODO as of Septemember 2012

C++

  • Build with C++ support

Terminal Fixes

  • Mouse features; mouse support in windowed mode
  • Tab completion in shell (this is mostly a shell-specific thing)

Windowing System

  • Graphical Login Manager
  • Finish GUI toolkit
  • File manager app

Harddisk Drive Extras

  • VFS support is still almost entirely non-existent
  • Write support for EXT2 is still sketchy
  • Still lacking fast read/write for IDE - needs more DMA!

Toolchain

  • Finish GCC port
    • Still missing a few things in the underlying C library
    • Ideally, also want to be able to build natively, so need scripting, build utils, etc.
  • Port ncurses/vim/etc.
    • Native development requires good tools.
    • Also port genext2fs.
  • Directory support needs to be better integrated into the C library still

Microkernal Readiness

  • Deprecate ramdisks
    • Haven't used them in development in over a year
    • Not useful anywhere else due to their limiting sizes
  • Implement module execution
    • Instead of loading a ramdisk, modules should be standard binaries
    • The binaries will be executed in a new "service mode"
  • Implement "servicespace"
    • Userspace, but at a different ring
    • Special access features, like extended port access
    • Higher priority scheduling

Services to Implement

  • PCI Service
  • Graphics Management Service
  • Compositor as a service?
  • Virtual File System Service

Heh... Consider writing some of these in better languages than C. May a D servicespace?

TODO: Get D working.

Old I/O goals

I/O

  • /dev file system
  • /dev/fbN and /dev/ttyN for virtual framebuffer terminals and graphics
  • /dev/ttyS0 for serial I/O
  • SATA read/write drivers (/dev/sdaN)
  • /dev/ramdisk (read-only)
  • EXT2 drivers should operate on a /dev/* file
  • Mounting of /dev/* files using a filesystem handler
  • VFS tree
