That's a good idea. I think we should agree on a version numbering system
first. IMHO, major should remain "0" until everything works and is stable
(six months? a year?). Minor should reflects milestone improvements, and
start at 1 (0 makes it seems too... hem... "doesn't run at all"). I
consider milestone improvements something like having an OS working in a
usable way, like being able to input some commands (like DOS 6.22 right
now, though it achieves this by major hacks, if I understood correctly).
Revisions brings some improvements that we feel worthy enough for public
release. Minor corrections (bug fixes, etc.) could simply be added a letter.
Following this scheme, I suggest beginning at 0.1.0.
Of course, this only is a suggestion. But this is a point that has to be
decided, I think.
