Hello Nos,
I'm grateful for you joining our discussion and sharing your perspective on the project. It is particularly rewarding that the Hack'n'Hike gets so much appreciation from you. As I responded to Johannes, the interplay of the C3D2 with our team as it emerged over the past year means a lot to me. Your engagement and enthusiasm - both at the events we joint together as well as on the forum - has played a big role in that.
XML used in SculptOS, the new HID/ HRD syntax came in handy. I now find the configuration and reports from SculptOS much easier to read.
So happy!
That's exactly what I was after: Increasing the joy while using Genode.
I really like the metaphor for building bridges. It also fits very well with the idea of a Genode/ SculptOS user group. There, I could team up with others and learn Goa. I am also interested in the idea of a capability-based desktop environment that uses VFS plugins and is thus somewhat similar to the file-based approach of Plan9. This file-based approach also seems to me to be helpful for good accessibility or a simple headless system. I am also interested in good 3D support for (linux-)VMs. I am also interested in a help system or at least better accessibility of documentation in the Leitzentrale and for components (on-screen documentation) as well as better usability for updates. With regard to notebooks such as [2], where virtually all connections consist of USB modules, an expansion of the USB stack would also be quite helpful.
Most of these interests are perfectly in line with mine. It's motivating to know that you are anticipating features like the on-screen documentation. So it sounds worth prioritizing it over some of the under-the-hood technical topics that occupy me most of the time. Looking very much forward to present the fruits of this labor at C3D2 or the new user group! :-)
For the coming year, I would like to get involved in a user group, be able to use Goa on Linux and Genode, and, if possible, help with usability improvements.
Fantastic!
Cheers Norman
