A very useful site is the cs university page here:
http://www.cs.brown.edu/courses/cs148/old/2004fall/brickos.shtml
Plenty of useful tutorials and instructions. It would be unhelpful to have it
disappear.
All of the stuff at the legos/brickos sourceforge pages, however a backup
probably isn't needed of these.
A age of patches: http://carl.troein.com/
These are just the ones off the top of my head.

Agreed. There is also a set of pages from the following school year at
http://cs.brown.edu/courses/csci1480/old/2005/brickOS/quickstart.html .
Unfortunately (at least from a code merge perspective), their "version 1.2"
is based on BrickOS 0.2.5. The lnp_printf functionality has been adapted
and included in the recently-posted rollup patches, but incorporating other
modifications, such as "Reliable LNP," is more involved due to the
difference in BrickOS versions.

[@Carl]: Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe these patches are
already included in the rollup posted to SourceForge?
If the SourceForge project wiki for BrickOS could be enabled....
I've noticed another thing that is disappearing is the custom sensors and
multiplexor boards that were created for the RCX....
Thanks,
Matthew

I have found two problems with the patches. I narrowed down the problems to
specific patches from the Bibo set. However the symptoms are identical under
BrickOS so I assume they would be linked to the same patches there.
Patch 10: Under Ubuntu with the usb tower, this causes firmdl3 to exit with
error "read: resource temporarily available". However the light does light up on
the tower for a small moment.
Patch 11: This seems to do something funny with the motors. Power does not seem
to be supplied to the motors. when running the motor, the arrows appear on the
lcd however there is no power being outputted.

Patch 10: This works for me under Cygwin with a USB tower, but some of the
files such as rcx_comm.c have a bit of platform-specific code.
Patch 11: I've noticed that the linker command file is a little different in
Bibo than it was in BrickOS. If _motor_controller is 0x00 in bibo.ld and
dm_mask is set to 0x00 in dmotor.c dm_init(), there is "regular" motor
output; if _motor_controller is the BrickOS value of 0x80, DCC motor output
functions as expected.

Hey folks
I've created a very basic site here: http://www.rcxzone.com/
When I say very basic I mean VERY basic.. it's just an empty instance
of mediawiki, but I'll look to adding content when I get a chance.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers
Tom
