I think there is NO decent documentation about elks kernel. What I would 
like to see is:
1. Kernel architecture: (supported CPU modes; memory modes for 8086 and 
286 for kernel and for processes; processes scheduling and interrupt 
handling; memory managment and swap support; system invocation 
mechanism; processes synchronization mechanisms; other kernel issues);
2. Available and expected to be done API and libraries;
3. Porting issues (tools,guides,how-tos);

this documents will help us to involve more peoples to project, cause 
many guys even won't bother to spend couple weeks exploring source code 
to find out all those mentioned issues.

thanks,

Andrey
