As the creator? of HFORTH, I would LOVE to have a gruop focused on
it. As it stands I am up to my eyeballs in paying consulting work
and my family, and barely have enough time to keep development
going.
Markus has done a great job on LegOS and I would encourage anyone
familiar with C to tackle the system, I got a lot of important ideas
from his work.
HFORTH will be more geared to a text interface with no need for a
compiler, the FORTH kernel does it for you. I have recently added
motor and sensor control, but have not had time to add timers
which are needed for any serious work. If you are interested in HFORTH,
please be patient and look at all of the other work like NQC, LegOS,
and even the lego supplied software :-) The more the group hacks
at the beast, the better we will be able to help TLG to develop the
next product. Although with a 6 year development cycle, we could all
be old folks by the time it happens :-)
