Documentation
IBM Redbooks
- SG24-4630-00 OS/2 Warp (PowerPC Edition) A First Look
- SG24-4639-00 OS/2 Warp (PowerPC Edition) Graphical Subsystem
We do have the first one digitaly, but not the second one. In case anyone finds that, let us know.
Darwin Documentation
There is plenty of documentation available about Darwin, a good start is Kernel Programming, which gives a nice overview about the design of the kernel.
Technologies to study
- http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/glitz and http://lists.freedesktop.org/pipermail/xorg/2004-November/004358.html
- Xegl - OpenGL interface below X, so Cairo could run directly on OpenGL
- GNUstep.org
Design Decisions
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+
- GnuStep (look at Apples programs to see what's possible. Yes I know Apple uses Cocoa not Gnustep)
- other?
Dropping SOM for something better? Creating a poor mans SOM kernel isn't too difficult.
