Please ignore this pages for the moment, this is old content about Voyager and we will replace that soon by some serious stuff :) Ktk 13:39, 10 November 2008 (CET)

We currently discuss about the design on Voyager. This is separated into the following parts:

Voyager Discussion - contains the ideas which evolved from quite some discussions

The Voyager API Basics - contains the basic ideas for the Voyager API

The Voyager API Design - contains the design/coverage of the upcoming Voyager specific API
- Preliminary list of desktop classes - contains a separate (yet incomplete!) list of Desktop Classes

The Voyager API Design and Implementation Guide - contains the methods and rules for implementing the Voyager API

The Voyager API Roadmap - contains a list of issues/todos

-===Darwin Documentation===
+We currently discuss about the design on Voyager. This is separated into the following parts:
-There is plenty of documentation available about Darwin, a good start is [http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Kernel-date.html Kernel Programming], which gives a nice overview about the design of the kernel.
-==Technologies to study==
-* [http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fglitz glitz] - OpenGL interface for Cairo, so one could run Cairo directly on OpenGL, see [http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Xegl Xegl] for a diagram.
+* [[Voyager_Discussion|Voyager Discussion]] - contains the ideas which evolved from quite some discussions
-* [http://www.usenix.org/events/usenix04/tech/freenix/nilsson.html Glitz: Hardware Accelerated Image Compositing Using OpenGL] and as [http://www.cs.umu.se/~c99drn/opengl_freenix04.pdf PDF]
-* [http://dri.freedesktop.org/~jonsmirl/graphics.html The State of Linux Graphics], [http://lwn.net/Articles/149917 comments] and more [http://groups.google.com/group/linux.kernel/browse_frm/thread/c2f4978ce450ed9a/2d8842acb180b581 comments].
-* [http://www.gnustep.org/ GNUstep.org]
-== Design Decisions ==
+* [[Voyager_API_Basics|The Voyager API Basics]] - contains the basic ideas for the Voyager API
-Creating a binary compatible OS/2 clone may be tempting but is not strictly necessary. Important is the user experience. Which toolkit should be used for primary development?
-*GTK+
+* [[Voyager_API_Design|The Voyager API Design]] - contains the design/coverage of the upcoming Voyager specific API
-*GnuStep (look at Apples programs to see what's possible. Yes I know Apple uses Cocoa not Gnustep)
+** [[Desktop_class_list|Preliminary list of desktop classes]] - contains a separate (yet incomplete!) list of Desktop Classes
-*other?
-Dropping SOM for something better? Creating a poor mans SOM kernel isn't too difficult.
+* [[Voyager_API_Design_Guide|The Voyager API Design and Implementation Guide]] - contains the methods and rules for implementing the Voyager API
+* [[Voyager_API_Roadmap|The Voyager API Roadmap]] - contains a list of issues/todos
-== Questions==
-* one good thing about OS/2 are the fast interactions when you click somewhere, like opening a folder or getting the focus on a window. Why is that like this? We should try to keep that stuff fast.
