From the skeleton in the closet department...

Blue Eyed OS has released the first skeleton of their app_server. No, it's not something you scream and run away from, it's actually a milestone in their development of a BeOS clone.
 
It still uses X11, but it's a step forward. I know you want to read what matters and not my lame jokes, so here's the full monty:
 
"First skeleton of the new app_server in the CVS. It is far from something complete but I like it's behaviour. There are no input handling (mouse, key, refresh) and I have to fix a race condition, but it draws line, rect, ellipse... but no string (it's the part of Michael Weichert!!). There is only the X11 rendering, drawing operations must be fixed before include the native window managing done by Tobe, IMHO. If you press Enter in the app_server console you will see debug info (and that the ressource management is working). The Application Kit will be my main job now. "
 
If you're like me (and i hope you're not...), you'll want to check screenshots, so get your gear and head over here.
