Thanks Drake, Luca, and Mario for news about these two new OSes, Kedos and ElemtaryOS. (I suppose "Luna" is a name for a particular version of ElementaryOS, like "Lucid" or "Precise" for Ubuntu?)
Drake --- writing an HIG sounds very promising. My main question here is how do these two stand vis-a-vis an API? I'm assuming that since this is the Vala list, that each actually does have an API, and that it is expressed in Vala. That of course would be very good. And i think basing them on Ubuntu was probably a wise move, to avoid a lot of wheel reinvention. But, imvho, Ubuntu doesn't really have an API, at least, not in the sense of something like Haiku. (It does have an API page, but not really a well-defined, uniquely specified API, that specifies canonical methods for writing applications.) I think in the ElementaryOS/Luna case, the API would be part of Granite somehow? Anyhow, i guess for ElementaryOS/Luna, i can just download it, burn a CD, and look around to see if i can write an application. Drake --- how far are we from being able to do the same thing with Kedos? (I looked on launchpad, but i'm not very good at getting code out of it :( . ) Thanks in advance for any info, and hope that my questions aren't obviously answered by the docs (but if they are, please point me to them --- i looked at Luca's link, which is where i found out about Granite, but i don't have much feel for just what's in the API yet). dan On Sat, Nov 17, 2012 at 12:02 PM, Luca Bruno <lethalma...@gmail.com> wrote: > This is very interesting.
