A journal entry in the development of the Warrahoperating system, dated April 23, 2010.
Available Software
Frontend
Chromium
Chromium 5+ appears to be a kiosk mode, which shows the browser in fullscreen without any browser chrome.
GUI
JQuery UI will likely be used. Some form controls are not available in the current version so they will need to be reimplimented:
- Toolbars
- Split Panes
- Rich text editors
- Extended dialogs (with minimize and maximize)
- Icons
Several alternative toolkits were considered but the jQuery one was chosen for ease of use.
Backend
Kernel
I still haven't found a suitable kernel yet. It will probably be a microkernel.
