I am not looking to criticize the people involved - just observe that an OS is a really ambitious project and, as a result, is tough to see through to completion. AdaOS looks like it is much more ambitious than your typical embedded RTOS as projects go. I think the AdaOS project might have made more progress (and friends ;-) if it had been de-scoped to start with just some sort of RTK that could have been used as the basis of an RTOS & see where it got from there. They need some working piece of software that is usable in some realm in order to develop a band of followers who might complete the rest of the project. With that as an example, I'd again suggest picking a project that is smaller in scope. You want something that you can achieve in a few weeks or small number of months of evenings & weekend work, or it just doesn't get done. MDC Luke A.
