"Myself, Joseph Mallett, and David Jorm have recently begun to take xMach in a slightly more specialised direction, concentrating on disk and i/o for mass storage, network fileserver, and (possibly) forensics applications. With improvements made to Disk I/O, a server setting could also be suitable. I've begun to squash some of the bugs that were left in by previous developers, because I didn't quite understand some workings of assembley constructs inside GCC. I'm taking a trip to Australia to stay with David Jorm and work out details of xMach and do some (hopefully) serious code hacking. Oh, and the wishlist is now publicly viewable (note: some of the 'wish'es are off topic AT BEST, and some are downright offensive)."
