[okl4-developer] Hello and first questions

[Remy Gottschalk]

Hello OKL4-dev,

I am a french developer working for Linagora, i am working with OKL4 for
about 1 week now. I achieved to compile it and run a simple system under
qEmu. I am also done reading the available doc published on the wiki.
I am now trying to understand how the whole thing work. Maybe i did not
searched well but i have not found any documentation concerning the
underlying mechanisms such as Interrupt handling, scheduling, resources
maping...

So first question (more will come :) ) : Did i miss some documentation's
locations ?

And also dealing with the documentation, i did not found how to create an
account for the wiki. I plan to actively contribute to your project and i
guess the first things i will be capable of is writing some of the missing
documentation. So if you can tell me how to help i will be glad to do so.

Next, In my quest of understanding the project can you clarify a little
the process involved in making the whole thing. For example i have
understood  that iguana_server_loop is the micro kernel's main loop (i
know i'm leet ;) ). I have also understood that the final code for the
function has been generated and that the process involve the use of idls
and magpie but i don't get the whole process. So could you give me some
hints concerning :
- The structure of the project.
- The process of generating the final binaries.

Thanks in advance.

My english is nowhere near perfect so if i need to clarify some question
don't hesitate.

And i almost forget, thank you for making such an exiting project open.
