I could post a more concise description of the plan, but what I intend ultimately to achieve is a fully working and tested ntoskrnl that could run on regular xp or s2003 too (to verify full compatibility).
As a general rule, we prefer fixes to features, and even then we prefer features found in Windows to entirely new features. As an example of why we try to avoid new features: running DPCs in pre-emptible real-time threads raises serious issues, like the risk of deadlocks between high priority real-time applications and DPCs that used to run at a higher priority but don't anymore. You'll need a framework for compatibility settings to make it work with existing drivers: at that point you'll have solved one problem and created two new ones
If you want to make a lasting contribution to the project, work on something that's aligned to the goals of the project
So maybe instead of writing the details and discussing it, we may wait till I have it working and speak again afterwards. This way I won't be wasting the time of anyone else until the objectives are achieved and can be verified.
One doesn't usually start a discussion about something and at the same time dismiss the need to discuss it. If you came here to brag, you came to the wrong place
