Mirroring

If you desire you may mirror this page. In your mirrored page you must state that you are a mirror and provide the original URL of the Project page. For a good example see: http://www.osdcom.info/content/view/28/38/

Format

All OSes should be listed in alphabetical order.

The format of data on this page is in the form of:

• OS Name - Title or short description.
  • Contact: Chase (chase AT osdev.org)
  • URL: http://www.osdev.org

TODO

• Add Amateur OSes from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osdev
• Add http://xos.freezee.org/ Added but now the site is down, wait and see if it comes back up
• Add http://comos.sourceforge.net/ ? If it gets fixed/contact the author(waiting for response)

Dating

Would it be appropriate to add 'dates' to these projects -- last release/software update, and last official news update? Almafeta 19:55, 30 March 2007 (CDT)

Entry Template

I wrote two templates for the entries into the list. One is the major and the second is a sub template. The first works like this:

 {{OSProjectEntry
 |OSName=<The project name.>
 |OSDescription=<A description of the project.>
 |Contact=<A contact address, name, or internet message location.>
 |URL=<The URL for this project>
 |LastReleaseDate=<A date of the last release known.>
 |LastReleaseDescription=<A description of the last release known.>

The line (below) uses the optional second template and can be included to provide a closer inspection message for questionable entries.

 |CloserInspection={{CloserInspectionValidity|<Reason><br \>'<Your name>}}

The last part regardless if you include the (above) single line or not is to add the two closing curly brackets.

 }}

If done correctly your entry will appear just like the others. You can also edit that page to see how each entry was made if you are still unsure. --Kevin 17:45, 27 May 2007 (CDT)
