The Gold Project
Welcome to the home of the Gold project, a research endeavor to create a new operating system, taking a new approach on design and view of a system. Read more about it in the Documentation section.
News
2009-01-21 The Golder kernel, LSD, has been rewritten using C++. This should allow developers to proceed much more quickly at development than OOPC would allow, and is more suitable to the kernel than Objective-C.
2007-12-04 The system library now has full Unicode support for strings, localized dates and times, and character sets. Using LibICU (www.icu-project.org) we can support all of Unicode 5.0, and be fully localized with less effort on our part, and stay up to date with updates to the Unicode standard.
2007-12-04 The Gold kernel, LSD, will be written in Objective-C, rather than OOPC. This allows us to share a lot of code between userspace and kernel, and should speed up development.
2007-03-10 After a long time with no news, Adam was able to get a test program booting on the PowerPC, so we can port LSD and Gold to the PowerPC now, rather than using the x86.
