Summary

Most of the features we add are for geeks ! To truly transcend beyond the current OSs, we need to poll users and find out what they would use the OS. We do not have to talk to all the billion people ;o) but still need to touch the representative groups

Rationale

Make an OS that is turely part of global life

Use cases

To come from talking with users from various walks of life and interpolating their aspirations ...

Scope

Like my son says "Infinity and beyond ..."! Actually the scope is bounded, but would require working across different packages and possibly developing couple of protocols and definitely a few skins ...

Design

Implementation

Code

Data preservation and migration

Outstanding issues
