Yzöwl Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Do you know any programming? if so what language(s) and what level of knowledge do you have?.I would also suggest you'd need a thorough knowledge of the internal workings of the Windows OS you are intending to build this for too!

Nuno Brito Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 You can start from scratch or pick a project already in development and join the team effort.BBlean is a good option, open source and very efficient: http://www.bb4win.org/news.phpReactOS comes with an open source shell that you can also use: http://www.sky.franken.de/explorer/Personally, I recommend getting in contact with an already estabilished project as they can guide you and maybe this way save a lot of time rather than learning everything from scratch.
