All the real action is at http://newos.sf.net/ or #newos on irc.freenode.net
Lots of people have apparently come here and decided the project was inactive, but that's not true. The bulk of the work is being done off the sourceforge servers, so this page doesn't show a lot of activity. Go to the project page at http://newos.sf.net/ for more info.
I put up a new mailing list at
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/newos-changes
This list gets mailed a description of the source changes in the source depot as they are made. Thought someone may be interested.
Lots of progress being made, but nothing super visible. Much progress being made on redoing the filesystem layer, to provide for memory-mapped files, which will open a floodgate of new things that can be done.
I moved the www.newos.org web site over to http://newos.sourceforge.net Too many people were having problems with the newos.com site.
In case you didn't figure it out, I finally set up a Source Forge project for NewOS. I had previously been using my web site for all of the good stuff, but SF provides some tools I'm very interested in. I'm using just about everything except for the CVS, since I already have a perforce server.
