Alright, I haven't been getting nearly as many developers as hoped... here's a little more info:

Infiniti Shell
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Infiniti is going to be a free, open-source, high quality, replacement Windows shell. The shell is going to be designed to REPLACE explorer.exe. The Infinity project will not only be a full shell, but it will use Plug-ins (Working name) and Skins (Again, working name) to create a fully customizable, user-defined environement. This project would expand to include a whole new developement community making skins, sound themes and plug-ins for the new Infiniti shell.

The project will be divided into several departements, one will be responsible for the core developement, one for skins, one for plug-ins, and one for beta testers. Each departement will have a leader who will report back to the project leader, Jigabug. More departments and, in turn, leaders, will be added as need be. Some departements (Beta testing, for example) won't be needed until later in the project.


Ideas for shell stuff:

Use as little resources as possible
Ram Monitor (Monitors RAM usage, Tries to free RAM when it hits a user set point for a low)
User Accounts (Several User Accounts can be made,Each user can have customized shell settings
Run on System Boot-Up - Needs to be done
LOTS of customization (QuickBar, TaskBar, Clock, ect.)


Ideas for plug-ins:

Media Player (Codec Database) that will accept several formats
FTP Client (Basic FTP Client)
Firewall (Possible?)
User to User messaging? (User could message each other)
