Some of the recent patches add lots to stability esp. the fix to
minix_add_entry(), and the fix to fchown. I plan to release 0.1
soon after 0.0.80. After that I think progression towards 1.0
should be pretty quick.
User space code is starting to become more key as the kernel gets stable.
Porting user code from other systems is much easier than writing kernel
so anyone can get involved in doing that.
I have created some web pages where registered developers can upload
information about code they have ported, and upload the ported source code
itself. See the link "Software for ELKS" on the front page.
It would be counter-productive to release 1.0 unless we had enough ported
code to make a useful system.
