I'll send him a direct email and keep you informed. Stay tuned :)

update : The reply was: He started a rewrite on L4, but it was too much for one lone guy; he could start it all again if some want to participate.

OpenVMS has an enduring fan base -- maybe who knows enough to make meaningful contributions is reading this!

First, the code around the L4 kernel (Pistachio) is still available. I've cloned it to github here so as to not overload jkb's personal server (still in the origin):

https://github.com/wazoox/FreeVMS

What's missing:

- L4 Pistachio is unsupported...

- Memory management (VMS style) is to be implemented.

- Drivers.

The website is still online somewhere, I hope to know the URL soon :) I'll add it to the github README.
