I haven't done much work on NODOWS lately, but I continue to think about its evolving design.
A couple of thoughts:
- I'd like to be able to easily configure a NODOWS box remotely, using a GUI powered by another machine. I'd like to be able to transfer the data over a serial connection, to avoid networking mistakes. XML-RPC might be fine for some simpler configuration details.
- NODOWS should focus on performing a simple goal, such as running web applications which conform to a particular design, for example.
- NODOWS will not be at the "bleeding edge" of core OS software, but will focus on operating system stability. It will also include up-to-date application software, such as NGINX, libfcgi, and interpreted language processors (ruby, python, etc.)
- I want to add NetBSD to the list of supported platforms
