Terminology question -- as the OS framework, shouldn&#39;t Genode be the &quot;platform&quot; rather than the microkernel, esp. from the user&#39;s perspective?  Also, HelenOS seems to be a full OS, so why does it need an OS framework?  And, won&#39;t HelenOS be plagued by the &quot;other OS&quot; 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.)<div>
<br></div><div>This leads me to thoughts about &quot;driver synthesis.&quot;  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 &quot;open&quot; interrelation standards and resulting tools for H/W vendor programmers to write once and run (and debug) everywhere?</div>

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