Mainly Macintosh

OpenDarwin has shut down

Many open source community experiments succeed. One that met with at least partial failure is the OpenDarwin project.

That project sought to create a lively open soure development community around the underlying layers of the Macintosh operating system, with commity-written software eventually findings its way into the Macintosh.

OpenDarwin:

OpenDarwin was originally created with the goal of providing a
development environment for building and developing Mac OS X sources as
well as developing a standalone Darwin OS derivative. OpenDarwin was
meant to be a development community and a proving ground for fixes and
features for Mac OS X and Darwin, which could be picked up by Apple for
inclusion in the canonical sources.
OpenDarwin has failed to achieve its goals in 4 years of operation, and
moves further from achieving these goals as time goes on. For this
reason, OpenDarwin will be shutting down.
