Ataraxia: meow mrreow, i fixed part of the article to eliminate the joke :p ~autumn

This is a general summary of what OSes are being developed on DisNCord.

=== Open Computing Kit (OCK) ===
A joint project between Elisia, Sadmac356, Griffin, Europa, and others, [https://github.com/open-computing-kit Open Computing Kit] is an operating system that aims to be as GNU-independent as possible, including a [https://github.com/open-computing-kit/ockernel kernel written in Rust] and its [https://github.com/open-computing-kit/OCKcore own set of coreutils]. It is presently in the very early stages of active development.

=== SeshOS ===
Written by Mineman, SeshOS is one of the more esoteric OSes on DisNCord, it has the starts of a GUI and shell in the kernel, but no memory management.

SeshOS has support for one filesystem: tar ramfs.

The repository for the software is located at https://github.com/mine-man3000/SeshOS.

=== Pics Of Bread Awful scRipting Interpreter System for Neat Architectures (POBARISNA) ===
Written by Krabs, POBARISNA is an operating system with a JavaScript-based microkernel design, that currently only runs on PowerPC macs. There are prospective plans for ports to other "Neat Architectures" (which Krabs defines as "not a PC/BIOS/UEFI x86 system"), such as SPARC variants and ARM.

The project can be found on [https://gitlab.com/christiancrowle/pobarisna GitLab]

=== picotalk ===
Written by Waterpear, picotalk is an operating system written in embedded Smalltalk.

=== Rotom OS ===
Written by SED, Rotom OS is an operating system with little information to glean from anything except for its code and a few images.
It attempts to be as simple as possible, with ring 3 not being implemented.

=== styx ===
Written by Sirocyl and others, styx is an operating system with many ideas, some of which will be listed here:
* Applications will be double-click to run, much like Windows or macOS.
* Libraries should live with their application in packaging, similar to Windows.
* Installation will be done through drag-and-drop, taken from macOS.
* The system will be as (trans)portable as possible, similar to Classic macOS.
* The word "styx" is not an acronym, nor will the operating system's governing body ever be comprised of one member.
* The system will be consent-first, something that flies in the face of traditional operating systems like Windows and macOS.
There are many more than this here in their Discord server, but there are too many to list here effectively.

Ataraxia: Create a semi-fleshed out article for the operating systems that are on DisNCord (and have proper docs) to the best of my ability. If you hear screaming in the other room, it's me. ~Autumn

Project:LaunchChecklist

Ataraxia: /* Create stubs for ongoing projects */

This is a list of everything we need to do before the wiki can be opened formally

== TODO ==
=== Create [[Project:Permissions]] or similar to describe how user accounts work ===
Describes user permissions, how to get an account, etc.

Must include directions and instructions on how verification works, and more.

=== Configure Image Uploads ===
Should be limited to Verified users.

=== Create stubs for ongoing projects ===
We should at least have stub articles on these

* [[AIX on Itanium]]
* [[Banyan VINES resurrection]]
* [[CPUPixie]]
* [[Homebrew OS Development]]
* [[APRS Tracker]]

=== Get MediaWiki docker/compose filer file on GitHub ===
MediaWiki Docker files + LocalSettings is in: https://github.com/NCommander/disncord-mediawiki

If you're an admin, ask me on Discord for access

=== Confirm email setup works from restless.systems ===
Currently we have MX server through Gandi, but let's figure out the rest from here

=== Setup OAuth ===
Should be able to use a Google account or the like

=== Fix Editor Plugins ===
Broken due to HTTP Basic Auth

=== Figure out awards for good edits and such? ===
We should have things like a FAQ section, or a Misc top level category for various topics

Possible things:
* Quotes page + context
* Various setup emulation guides, etc.
* Get full history of things like Banyan down

=== Clarify project copyright stuff ===
Probably should do a copyright assignment to make things easier, but TBD

== Done ==

=== WebHook for Discord ===
This is connected to #wiki-changes on the wiki
