What is Voyager?

Voyager is the codename of the idea to have a WPS replacement on top of modern technology. This idea is the result of around 1.5 years of thinking a lot about what we can do in the future as current OS/2 and eComStation users. Note that it's absolutely impossible to write down in a few sentences what we plan to do, I had a speech at Warpstock Europe 2005 about it and this speech alone took 1.5 hours, you get the point :)

So before you continue you should probably consult:

Note that I will not do any discussions about if this is the way to go or not. Take it or leave it, it's our choice and we have our reasons.

How is this releated to OS/2 and eCS?

A lot and not at all. Voyager is basically a reimplementation of a lot of ideas implemented in the WPS, the Workplace Shell of OS/2. As mentioned in the ALL06 PDF, the WPS has still unique concepts that are not implemented in any of the free well known desktops like Gnome or KDE.
