Introduction

----

Welcome to the **Glowstone Desktop Environment / OS** project! This is the 

Git repository containing the core Glow components (`Kernel`, `Frameworks`, `Services`... etc.)

that may be used to boot a bare-bones Glow Desktop.

Included in this repository

----

1. The Glowstone Kernel - Essentially a bootstrapper for Glow to boot.

2. Core Frameworks & Services - `CoreFile`, `CoreUser`, `UITools`...

3. GFS - "Glow Future Storage", a relationship-driven data storage engine

4. Lockdown - The security isolator and process virtualizer for Glow.

5. RT - "Glow **R**un**t**ime" taking care of integrating Glow with the lower-level parts of an operating system (file system, Linux kernel, etc.)

Included is the *Slate* RT which uses a LAMP stack for Glow to communicate with. As technology develops, native code solutions will be released and supercede *Slate*.

License

----

**Glowstone** is mostly licensed under the *MIT License*. Some components may be proprietary, usually those in testing and

heavy development, to prevent confusion in distribution of unstable parts.

How can I join?

----

Glowstone is currently in heavy development by Jimmie Lin . Contact me for details. I need a fair amount of help!

Development Status

----

Not near Pre-Alpha. Expect changes in the following 6 months.
