I think the best way forward is to make this a server OS, to use Ruby at the heart and have Ruby based server apps as modules that are added and enabled via a web interface to save on resources.
The first thing required is a boot loader, will need to be written in assembly.
Next is a kernel, this will need to be able to read the disks and use devices such as network cards
next we need a ruby interpreter and to call the manager
next is a process and memory manager written in ruby to handle multitasking and swap
next will be a shell, web server and whatever else we think of when we get that far :)
Please feel free to comment and make suggestions, this is only a rough plan just to get started | |
