Random Thoughts / Questions (inspired by Roadmap discussion)

[John J. Karcher]

Hello everyone,

This has certainly been an interesting Roadmap discussion (as usual)! 
Here are a few thoughts and questions that are not directly related to 
the Roadmap.

Haiku-on-Genode:
Cedric, your HoG screenshot looks great!  Please keep us informed - I 
hope your TuneTracker transition goes smoothly!

Framework 16:
After many years of waiting for an upgradable, open-source, full-size 
laptop, it looks like it is finally almost here.  Assuming there are no 
show-stopping problems, I am looking to get a Framework 16 this year. 
Of course, the experience would not be complete without Genode running 
natively on it.  I was encouraged by Pirmin's report that Sculpt worked 
on his AMD system.

Is anyone else interested in this laptop?  Does anyone have any thoughts 
on running Sculpt on it (granted that we don't have the hardware yet)?

Depot Package Discoverability:
Several people have mentioned that it is difficult to discover which 
Sculpt depot packages are available, and from where.

I am going to try to put a temporary solution in place for this, until 
someone develops something better.  No promises on timing, but I want to 
bring the badly neglected "Genode Corner" [1] up to date, then add a 
front-end for listing / searching Depot packages.

This will probably take the form of a daily process to pull in the depot 
indexes, add a search page, and maybe an RSS feed system.  If anyone has 
any implementation advice or feature requests, please let me know.

  Happy Sculpting!
