Nostalgy

Well, I was on the team for that, and as far as I knew it died. I've not touched my parts of the code for about two years now. I'd be willing to take it back up if it's going to go anywhere, but... I just haven't touched it in so long I'd probably want to start over, especially since I've learned some things since I started working on it. Andy Janata 10:31, 27 March 2006 (PST)

Vera = exokernel?

In regards to Vera: this architecture is very similar to that of an exokernel operating system. Having briefly read up on Vera, it doesn't seem to me to be an exokernel. Even in its current form the operating system seems to do more than securely export hardware resources. However, I'm not intimately familiar with the project, so I'm leaving some time for someone to correct me before I change the text. --Dan Englender 12:25, 27 March 2006 (PST)
