• WikiToDo

To-do list for Wiki

• Fill out

  • ServerProcess

  • PolaShell

  • PrincipleOfLeastAuthority

  • Glossary, with: capability, POLA, POLP, file descriptor, ambient authority, namespace

• Add page on Plash object system (a minimum has been copied from old docs -- ObjectSystem -- but this focuses too much on C bindings)

• Add GNU Hurd to ComparisonWithOtherSystems: Like Plash, the Hurd has an object-based architecture and implements filename lookup in user space. The Hurd is not a capability architecture, although Mach (which the Hurd runs on) is. Recently Hurd developers have been considering moving to a capability architecture. Before(?) they were considering moving from Mach to L4 -- see discussions comparing L4 with EROS.

  • http://www.eros-os.org/pipermail/cap-talk/2007-January/007066.html

• Add to ComparisonWithOtherSystems:

  • System call monitors: Janus, Systrace, Subterfugue

  • Ostia
  • User-mode Linux

• Index page for bugs (PlashIssues), and add categories to issue pages

• Change wiki logo from the default MoinMoin logo

• The Plash README file used to contain brief explanations of what each source file does. Should add this to the wiki.

• Have a GettingStarted page. Say how to install Plash and how to use it to run other packages.

Vaguer ideas:

• The Ubuntu wiki (and/or Launchpad) has good use cases written up for new features. Could write some for Plash. e.g. "Fred wants to install Firefox..."
