-Subject: FSF work on a GNU OS

-The Free Software Foundation is beginning work on a GNU operating
-system built on top of the Mach 3.0 microkernel. There are three
-goals to this project worth noting:
-
-o Binary compatability with 4.4 BSD, and other U*x or U*xish systems
- on other hardware where appropriate, convenient, and consistent with
- the design;
-
-o Posix compliance (in combination with the GNU C Library and the GNU
- C Compiler); and
-
-o Ease of use as well as several new features and functionality.
-
-
-I am interested in constructive criticism on the interfaces, design,
-and implementation from experts in the field of OS research and design
-consistent with the above goals. Advice from seasoned U*x hackers is
-especially welcome.
-
-We have a mailing list for discussion. Currently there is little
-discussion on the group; the major contributors to the ideas behind
-the design all live in the Boston area at this point, and work has
-been done via face-to-face communication. I would like to open the
-field of discussion to a broader base, both to get wider dissemination
-of the ideas behind the current design, as well as to get a greater
-breadth of criticism. Periodic postings are currently made to the
-mailing list containing a snapshot of the interfaces used by the
-various pieces of the system. I would like to see discussion as well;
-perhaps we need a critical mass to get this.
-
-Interested individuals should send me email. I don't regularly read
-the newsgroups to which this message is posted.
