[openbeos] Re: The storage kit

Keith, the main purpose of the Storage Kit is to implement all the 
classes and functionality of the BeOS Storage Kit (BFile, BNode, etc.). 
Look at the Storage Kit chapter of the the BeBook -- that's basically 
it.  I don't know alot more about the specifics needed to implement 
this -- perhaps others can clarify.

About the other stuff, we are still developing guidelines and processes 
for much of this. I would recommend reading the website FAQ first:
http://open-beos.sourceforge.net/faqs.html

this answers several of your questions

You could also browse thru the mailing list archives
http://www.freelists.org/archives/openbeos/

(lots of info buried in there -- but very tedious going thru it)
