[vos-d] Hello vos world!

[Peter Amstutz]

Hi Ken,

We're in a lull but not dead by any means, and actually things are 
picking up a bit.  We've gone back to the drawing board to redesign the 
system to accommodate scripting and support a number of other 
significant improvements.  That has taken a bite out our time to work on 
the upper application layers that do the 3D stuff, instead focusing on 
developing a new kernel architechture.

Sometime over the next few days I intend to sit down and write out an 
email discussing progress since my last status email I sent a month or 
two ago.
