Is there any descussion of microkernels, such as L4, GNU/Hurd or the Linux on L4 being used? These aren't complete, but, a high profile project such as this could speed the development of any one of these. Also, have kernels in application space and having a secure and small micro-kernel that is highly tuned to the individual CPU being used seems like it would increase performance and lower battery usage.

Any plans to use any of the "low memory footprint" C libraries (uClibC, etc.)? --pdinoto

Don't think so: I18N and compatibility says otherwise. I think there are better places to go hunting. - jg

where can i find the sources? and if i use them is there any thing i can do for help as a user?,(other than promoting well written software)

will java (SE,ME) be supported? i know java is supposed to be huge memory hog, but carefully written app can consume as little as 16 MB together with java virtual machine - wolf
