Syllable Developer Edition

[Rohan123]

I'm glad that OSDev is not stay at one place and peoples are developing their own projects. But I don't like that the are no any commons projects where involved more than 2 active developers, and which had make any really alternative and modern OS. Every man want his own project, but without consolidation of power impossible to create really good project. I think all understand it. Also I think most of members know about Syllable project. It's single alive project which went so far. But at present moment developing are very slowly - there is no people who ready to code under the Syllable. I don't know why, but I have one guess - programmers, as any standard user, want to have working system out of the box. In case of programmers they are need stuff for developing. Syllable was not friendly in this regard. Developers needed to download separately headers files, developers package, sIDE, some other packages, install them etc. It's took a lot of time. Linux was grow up so fast because distribs often included all stuff for developing.

Yesterday I spend evening and created Syllable Developer Edition. It's include all what needed for starting developing. I hope that it will help to get new enthusiast to project. really, who want to play with Syllable?
This build is base on 0.6.7 because it have several critical fixes. But it is not release, is still 0.6.7 under developing.

P.S. Please do not try to work with Syllable with VirtualBox, it's work there _very_ slowly.

Why should programmers want to develop applications for an OS few people have even heard of? If they want to develop applications the obvious platforms to use are Windows or (heaven forbid) Linux.

Unless they come up with something pretty revolutionary, hobbyist operating systems are likely to remain just that.
