I fully appreciate the "doing it for the fun of it" mentality. Am I wrong in assuming that is the "why" behind this project?
I have used OS X full time for 7 years now, and I love it, but I never thought the kernel had much to recommend it.
This is something I've been waiting for. After years of standby I've been working on Arch OS X again lately (fully operational but currently waiting for trademark approval from the Arch Linux team) and Arch Darwin is something I was contemplating to do for fun at some unspecified timeframe in the future.
Darwin was cool until Apple quit releasing ISO files and just the source code that needed a lot of work to debug it and put it back together.
I'm glad to see someone took it over and has a goal of making Darwin ISO files. I hope it also gets an OSX themed skin for whatever Desktop GUI they decide to use with Cario Dock or something to look like OSX.
Other than moving it to github, is there actually anything new here? They're still talking about the xmas release (2008), and of targeting Darwin9 (2007) and Darwin10(2009).
