Notices for 7th December 2022

A long time ago, there was the Cy/VOS wiki, within which I wrote copious illustrated notes on operating system design. It looks like the server that hosted it died around 2007, although I thought it lasted a bit longer than that. I don’t anticipate ever writing that amount of material again, but I have decided to document a few ideas under the new OS section. No illustrations at present, and no huge amount of detail, but it is nice to have the information out in the open again. I have no pretences that it will ever be used by anyone as it’s just too late now to try to recapture the lost world of the desktop operating system, but maybe the ideas will help someone with something nonetheless.

The existing RISC OS GUI is also an important read with regards interface design.
