Hi all,
I have just started looking at creating my own OS. I was reading in one of those sticky posts about an OSID Card. What is this and where do I create one?
I will probably need quite a bit of help so if this will make it easier for people to help me then I want to get one.
Thanks.
OSID Card

Re:OSID Card
OSID is an attempt to make OS developers provide thechnical informations about their OS that are interresting for people that will have to help them.
There's been a discussion about having them stored in a automatic managed database, but it doesn't seem to provide the required flexibility.
So, if you can get a few MB of webspace somewhere (geocities, free.net, your sourceforge project, your ISP webspace, your school, whatever -- or even post it as plain text in the "OSID" thread and then link to it in your signature.
Everytime you got asked a question about wether you have implemented or not implemented a feature, or how what parameter technique you used (like "do you use protected mode ? are you loaded by grub ? or someone else's bootloader ? do you have paging ? what does your GDT look like ? do you have interrupt support ? are you multitasking already ? software or TSS ?" ),
add the answer on a field of your OSID.
No matter the structure (xml or other) : this is for HUMAN reading . thus it must be readable .
However, a field-value design makes it more readable for human too...
