Terminology question -- as the OS framework, shouldn't Genode be the "platform" rather than the microkernel, esp. from the user's perspective? Also, HelenOS seems to be a full OS, so why does it need an OS framework? And, won't HelenOS be plagued by the "other OS" status (being neither Win nor Apple) and thus be short on drivers? (Just as an example, I can easily predict that every newbie who looks at it will automatically ask why there is no Win adapter such as ndiswrapper.)
This leads me to thoughts about "driver synthesis." I have not read the PDF yet, but I assume that the OS framework (platform) is a good place for that to be, well, synthesized to create "open" interrelation standards and resulting tools for H/W vendor programmers to write once and run (and debug) everywhere?
Thanks, John

Hi Tobia! I am happy to know that you are still working on this project!
Maybe adding a small progress comment on http://trac.helenos.org/ticket/419 mentionning both links you gave me would help people know you are still working on this.
In fact it should probably be a feature issue in https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/issues/ too.
Indeed reading http://trac.helenos.org/wiki/Genode give me an idea of the quite big challenges you are facing while clearly showing the differences between Genode and HelenOS which I find quite instructive.
I hope to find some time to follow your progress and wish you good luck!
