Oct 25 14:17:23 <rasstar> webos still going strong?
Oct 25 14:18:25 <HaDAk> very much so
Oct 25 14:18:44 <rasstar> cool
Oct 25 14:18:46 <HaDAk> since it was open sourced, a lot of components that couldn't be legally open sourced were torn out.
Oct 25 14:19:04 <HaDAk> we're re-writing everything from the ground up to bring it back up to par with what it was, and make it a bit more modern
Oct 25 14:19:13 <HaDAk> tons of work, but it'll be worth it
Oct 25 14:19:41 <rasstar> you really think it will be worth it
Oct 25 14:19:52 <HaDAk> wouldn't be doing it if we didn't.
Oct 25 14:20:01 <rasstar> ok
Oct 25 14:20:12 <HaDAk> when has competition ever been a bad thing?
Oct 25 14:20:19 <rasstar> not sure how ou will get the users back
Oct 25 14:20:54 <HaDAk> one by one.
Oct 25 14:21:06 <HaDAk> gotta make something we love before other people can love it too
Oct 25 14:23:25 <HaDAk> rasstar: have you used webos before?
Oct 25 14:24:07 <rasstar> yes was one of the early adopters that got it on day one
Oct 25 14:24:12 <HaDAk> yeah, me too.
Oct 25 14:24:41 <HaDAk> this screenshot was thrown up in the dev channel a few days ago. we're working on implementing a new keyboard system.

Oct 25 14:24:55 <HaDAk> obviously, not skinned yet. still working on making it functional.
Oct 25 14:25:11 <HaDAk> it's getting there. slowly, but surely.
Oct 25 14:35:31 <rasstar> it's going to be hard to get anyone to buy a phone to hack an OS on it that doesn't even have any apps
Oct 25 14:35:53 <HaDAk> that won't be a problem, when we're done.
Oct 25 14:38:26 <HaDAk> the ACL is looking good, too. we'll have the whole android library, eventually. PLUS webos native apps for a great experience.
Oct 25 14:38:40 <HaDAk> we've still got some work before we need to worry about that, but it won't be a problem.
Oct 25 14:44:54 <rasstar> good luck. is this for phones or tables?
Oct 25 14:45:13 <HaDAk> both. plus vm.
Oct 25 14:45:23 <rasstar> I will check back here in a year or so and see what happened
Oct 25 14:45:32 <HaDAk> it runs on the standard linux kernel, which android was merged in to. anything android will run on…we will too
Oct 25 14:45:41 <HaDAk> hopefully you don't have to wait that long :)
Oct 25 14:46:16 <rasstar> it has been a year since open source. two years since abandoned
Oct 25 14:46:28 <HaDAk> fair point.
Oct 25 14:46:40 <HaDAk> it took a while to figure things out. we're on a roll now.
Oct 25 14:46:48 <HaDAk> there are only a few people doing all the work. that's the slow part.
Oct 25 16:19:14 * dwc- 's pre2 still rocking strong
