New project coming up

EviGronn Software Foundation, after releasing the filesystem Basica, is planning for a project called BasicaOS, a series of operating systems. The operating system will be single threaded and Java based. The system will be prompt based, and single-threaded. Of course, soon it will soon run as many threads as the user wants. Right now, the filesystem Basica terminal will be implemented on the operating system.

HOW WE PLAN TO TEST IT
=====================

We plan to test it on machines running Windows XP. All of the files of the Operating System will be on a server or cloud, as the native machines may crash due to failures and never recover. We will not actually install the Operating System on our machine, but will just keep testing it from a CD/DVD ROM.

WHEN DO I EXPECT THIS TO BE OUT
=============================

It may take a long time. It may never come out. It may even take just a month. That, depends.

CAN I CONTRIBUTE??
=================

We plan to start the project on Kenai, and keep taking people in for the project. The source code will be available only to selected members of the team.

Since the system is Java based, and the Swing Application Framework is extensively used, we need to develop a "look and feel" for the Operating System. The best one gets selected. So Java developers, get going!!

An operating system basically is divided into the following parts:-
  1. Kernel
  2. Boot Loader
  3. File System

Bugs

It is, as all of you know, human nature to err. Please forgive us for any bugs in filesystem Basica, and co-operate with us by informing us about any possible bugs/exceptions you encounter.

There are some flaws in the system which we have spotted, and the next version will cover them efficiently.

1) When you want to create a new directory, including a file in it is a must, we will see to it that this is covered and only directory creation is possible in the next version.
2) Search Engine: Our experts are currently working upon a search technology and indexing function in the filesystem Basica, and we are sure to include it in a later version.
3) In-Built Advanced Text Editor: We are working upon a graphical, powerful, in-built text editor to create and edit files in one go.
4) Edit Files: filesystem Basica does NOT permit you to edit any file. This feature will be made available in a later release along with the text editor.
5) Log: filesystem Basica will have a history log in a later release that will store all the operations carried out by the user at the precise time, and date.
6) Copy-Paste/Cut-Paste/Moving: We will allow moving the location of files, or creating copies of them in a later release. Currently, we have only made the function to move basic text files (NOT INCLUDED), and we will expand upon it to Image I/O, Video I/O, Music I/O, etc. We are also creating an image viewer (GRAPHICAL, OBVIOUSLY) for the application, along with a music player with built-in video playing capability.
7) Capture the internet!!: We are working upon a mini-browser that will let you browse the internet efficiently. Also we are half-way through the process of creating a chat-client that lets you communicate with a different computer directly, instead of having user accounts, or anything like that.
8) Remote Access: Unexpected until v2.0.0, as work upon this feature has not been started yet.
9) Hardware Control: The filesystem Basica's current version does not access the hardware, or interact with it much. We will work upon it, but do not expect anything upon this until v3.0.0
10) Anti-Virus: An in-built anti-virus for filesystem Basica is expected to be made and released with it, but this will not be till v2.0.0, or v3.0.0, or even later.
11) We are going graphical!!!!!!!!!: Don't expect this until version 5 at the most!!!!!!!!

Any more bugs?? Post them on Softpedia as a user review, or comment here, or email to us@
