I’m doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won’t be big and professional like gnu) for 386 (486) AT clones. This has been brewing since April, and is starting to get ready.
All of Red Hat speaks as one. A unique written voice is as important as a unique visual style.

Get to the point. Speak in the active voice. There’s nothing inviting or helpful about wasting anyone’s time.
