Not sure if this is possible, but...
How about Internet Radio? I mean, the possibility of listening some internet radios on Computercraft.
A GUI would help a lot. (Advanced Computer)

I kinda wanna make the powerpoint editor. Seems like a neat thing to do.

If you are more interested in making the applications than the OS you could make applications for PearOS, an OS that I am about to release. It has windows, multitasking etc.)

Here is a (rather old) screen shot:

That's really neat, actually. The only thing I dislike about operating systems like this is that they reduce screen space because of the bar at the top or bottom. Perhaps if someone made an autohide feature, somehow.

Well, i'm planning to do this OS for my future server. But this doesn't stop people of downloading it here.

Also, about the "Powerpoint-like" editor, are you able to make it compatible with monitors? I hope so.

The reason i'm doing the OS terminal-based (CLI, mainly) and single-task, is because i want to make the computers look like they are from the 80s, altough the server will take place on a post-apocalyptic future.

Also, remember that the key programs integrated on it will be open-source. It's a OS that everyone can edit and update.

All the help is welcome, even if i'm still learning how to program on Lua (i'm at the very beginning).

Also, add me on Skype if you think you can do something for me: mad.castro.2011

Good luck. This is really ambitious stuff which requires a mastery of Lua, specifically something like a social network or IDE.

That's one of the reasons i'm not going to close the source. So if i somehow have to stop coding, someone will able to continue or enhance it.

Hello everyone.

I've been thinking in making a Linux-like/Android-like terminal based OS.

Obviously wouldn't be Linux at all, it's a different programming language. But i think in things like su, sudo, apt-get, file format (.deb, .sh, .bundle), select user and put password, basic programs which partially look like Ubuntu and Android apps. Also, i've thought in being a single-task OS, rednet-compatible, but being a easy OS to use.

Also, like Linux-based distros and kernel, the OS will be open-source.

What programs i've thought so far...
----
Redstonium: Rednet browser with tab support. Based on Chromium browser.

Slike: Instant messenger and chatroom service, compatible with Cubebook friends. Based on Skype and Facebook Chat.

Cubedisk: Fake social network program. Based on Facebook, Orkut, Google+ and Twitter.

Enderpad: IDE for Lua. Based on gedit.

Malculator: Basic calculation program. Based on Android calculator and Galculator.

Minedroid App Store: GUI for installation of new software. Based on Mac App Store, Ubuntu Software Center, Windows Store and Google Play.

MineAmp: Music Player. Based on Winamp, iTunes and Rythymbox.

RBooker: DRD (Digital Redstone Document, parody of PDF) reader, used for key documents or RBooks (RBook, parody of Ebook).

CubeToady: Advanced Texting Program, part of CubeOffice suite, based on Microsoft Word.

CubeBowser: Spreadsheet like program, part of CubeOffice suite, based on Microsoft Excel.

CubeKamek: Slideshow building program, part of CubeOffice suite, based on Microsoft Powerpoint.

CubeShyGuy: R-mail (parody of E-mail) client. Based on Gmail and Microsoft Outlook.

What do you guys think?
