Simply odd.

Doing more DIY/control/security/privacy with less complexity/materials/energy/cost. A functional system that is simple enough to fully understand and expand by yourself.

Inspired by:

• BeOS filesystem queries, replicants, services and message passing through out,
• BeBox load LEDs, "Geek Port",
• OS/2 Workplace Shell, System Object Model (SOM) and things enabled by it,
• Plan9 Plumbing, 9p, rio
• SQLite application file format
• OS/2 Work Areas, Project Templates, Visual Age IDE,
• Convergent Technologies NGEN modular component expansion system and relational document database,
• Lotus Notes document database,

This is a project for me, that coalesces many of the fantastic features of computers of yesteryear that were so far ahead of their time that we haven't gotten there yet. I suspect that many others may find it useful and fun, but for the moment, I'm building what features I need and want in a computing system. There are some foundational design goals that may resonate with others, and I hope that when it come time, they'll want to have one and develop their own version. We'll see when we get there.

The amalgamation of capabilities is to be implemented in this system architecture.
