Talk:Minix 3

The direction of this book
I think it worthwhile to invite discussion on which way this book should be going. It's not being updated very fast. Although I think it needs to be detailed technically I think we can start by filling out some of the less technical areas.

Minix 3 seems to have a fair sized silent community but very few contributors. I think it is because it is probably the best intro to unix kernel programming there is. People look at, say, linux and ask theirselves: how does the big magic undocumented bit work?

The autodidacts among us eventually find their way to Minix 3 but still find it a bit of a hill to climb to actually contribute.

My aim in trying to wake this book up is to create a path whereby the less experienced (in kernel work) can start to contribute early and eventually steer it into a resource for those who wish to teach theirselves how the magic is done.

 * That sounds like a good idea! I'm not overly familiar with Minix, but I'm curious to learn more about it. Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 05:01, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
