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

Is there any discussion of using a microkernel, such as L4, GNU/Hurd, or the Linux on L4? These aren't complete, but, a high profile project such as this could speed the development of any one of these. A small micro-kernel that is highly tuned to the individual CPU being used seems like it would increase performance and lower battery usage and could be very good for a project like this.

Are you thinking about minix3???
