The source code for ReactOS is only 30MB. The project has been going for 10 years so why so small?
33 MB is the zipped archive of ReactOS 0.3.1 source code. Source code (text files) can be zipped up to ratio 10% of the original size.
Is there a need for any developers who can program assembler?
We are always looking for new devs, everyone who want to help is welcome. Most parts of ReactOS are written in C. Some kernel-mode parts are written in ASM. Please join the #reactos irc channel, most of the ReactOS devs hang out there. http://www.reactos.org/en/community_irc.html
I use the ReactOS assembler. RosAsm. http://www.rosasm.org
RosAsm and ReactOS projects are independent. The RosAsm projects use the ReactOS brand without permission for markting purpose, such acting is not tolerable.
The ReactOS project uses its own build package which consists of Mingw (+ a few patches) and NASM (and more); it's called RosBE.
