pocket money for public domain OS

Hello.

I have this project:

http://pdos.sourceforge.net/

to develop a public domain operating system. Although
this is a freeware product, and although I am just an
individual, not a company, I would like to pay others to
do OS development. At this stage I'm only offering pocket
money though - US$1/hour - which is approximately $1
more than any other free project pays. :-)

If you are interested, please let me know.

There is an IRC chat room available:
irc.freenode.net #pdos

and my email address is [email protected]

Hi, your project looks a bit impressive. Despite the DOS-like nature, it would seem that you have worked on this quite a bit. :-)

Beware that your C library (Public Domain Project C Library, PDPCLIB) may be confused with the unrelated C library PDCLib (Public Domain C Library).

Thanks for the kind words. Yes, there has been a lot of effort put into it, spanning decades. But to move it forward, I need assistance.

Yes, that project was inspired by mine. I never understood why he didn't just use mine, but having multiple options is good too.
