Hey guys, Sledger721 here, the developer of the second version of RedWorks. I'm here to ask you some questions:
1. What do you think the name should be?
2. What are some features that you want to see?
3. Do you want to see support for peripherals such as CCPortable or CCGPU?
4. Do you want to see a few seperate versions, perhaps one for programmers, one for turtles, etc?
5. What do you want to see in the APIs? I have already added a class function and the split/join function.
6. Do you think that an extensible BIOS would be nice? For example, a boot-loader which would allow you to change Operating System if you wished?
7. I know this is simply a fun option, but the ability to change the cursor?

Features we are already sure of:
- The class and split/join functions in the APIs.
- More support for programmers.
- Boot loader.
- Built-in server software.

2 & 5. a program/feature like grep would be nice to see in an os.
3. ccSensors
4. Really good idea. Not everyone that uses CC codes or needs anything really advanced so a simple user friendly option works best for them. Then you got the devs that would like/need something more..

I'm ready to start coding again :)/>/>, but i'll let you do whatever you want, while i finish R.W.T.K. When redworks toolkit is finished, porting should be easy.
