And this list here is a good example, we're already talking about
modifications to the source, we can get more refined and subdivide into
topical arena's which deal with a specific subject of the ENTIRE OS.

[opendos.multiboot.sys]
[opendos.LFN.support]
[opendos.other.ideas.welcome]
[opendos.colin.glenn]
