Building an operating system isn't like making paella - you can't just throw in 
leftovers and hope to make a nice meal. Well, you can try - it is called Linux. 
:-) Seriously - there are a ton of little OS projects out there.  Syllable is 
one, Mona seems to be another, Minix, Minuet, MikeOS, etc. OSNews exists to 
talk about these. 

Let me try the cooking metaphor a different way - once the paella is in the 
oven and 3/4 cooked, you can't suddenly decide to throw raw meat in. Even if 
the meat is really good, you will have a disaster. Your  only option is to 
finish cooking and "live with" what you have.

First, this is my opinion and not that of anyone else who actually
develops for Haiku.
I only hope, that most developers are of the same opinion.

As you may or may not realize, Haiku has a relatively small community
and an even smaller pool of active developers, whether they code
directly for Haiku or for third party software that runs on Haiku.

As such, most developers are already working on the projects they want
to.  Also, most developers have a long list of projects that they want
to work on next.

At least I appreciate your enthusiasm in Haiku.
Hopefully you will be encouraged to learn how to bring some of the
software that interests you to Haiku.
