Thinking is free and if CommodoreUSA really gets going with these new Commodores and Amigas, I'd be willing to participate in a project similar in nature to Anubis OS. That is if AROS doesn't kick off.

Everyone knows the buzzwords by which a new Amiga API would be judged (resource tracking, full memory protection, SMP, etc...). The issue is, knowing those buzzwords doesn't get you much closer to a full API design.

As far as I could see, nobody seemed to bother with API design when the Anubis OS project was active, more focus was on looking at what could be taken from other open-source projects. Anubis OS has to bring something new to the table, rather than repackage existing code in an 'Amiga' way. A new API is the most talked about feature of a NG-Amiga system, so it should have been the focus, but it wasn't.

So my advice; start the Anubis OS project again, focusing on designing the new API first, and you'll get much further than Anubis OS did the first time around.
