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 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...
