Why Redox?

A natural question this raises is: Why do we need yet another OS? There are plenty out there already.

The answer is: You don't. No-one needs an OS.
Why not contribute somewhere else? Linux? BSD? MINIX?

There are numerous other OS's, kernels, whatever that lack for contributors, and are in desperate need of more coders. Many times, this is for a good reason. Failures in management, a lack of money, inspiration, or innovation, or a limited set of applications have all caused projects to dwindle and eventually fail.

All these have numerous short-fallings, vulnerability, and bad design choices. Redox isn't and won't be perfect, but we seek to improve over other OSes.

The Need for Something New

We have to admit, that we do like the idea of writing something that is our own (Not Invented Here syndrome). There are numerous places in the MINIX 3 source code where I would like to make changes, so many that perhaps a rewrite in Rust makes the most sense.

Different VFS model, based on URLs, where a program can control an entire segmented filesystem
Different driver model, where drivers interface with filesystems like network: and audio: to provide features
Different file system, RedoxFS, with a ZFS implementation in progress
User space written mostly in Rust
Orbital, a new GUI
