The most coherent view on current APIs is available at
<URL:http://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/L4/bib.html>.
The L4 people in charge of the new L4 API (the Karlsruhe guys) have
decided to circulate the upcoming specification in a limited way first
to keep discussion short and efficient. They deemed this necessary
because they felt that the current draft is not self-explanatory
enough to be consumed by larger audiences without overloading its
developers with questions. Let's respect them regarding their
decision.
In the meantime (and in general), I suggest using library APIs that
will remain unmodified regardless of kernel version. Please have a
look at the upcoming L4 environment, which exists now and is
relatively well documented
<URL:http://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/L4/bib.html#l4env>. A release is
forthcoming as soon as the L4Env developers feel that their users
understand and are comfortable with their libraries. Try giving them
this impression! Or even better: Help them by writing a user's guide
for L4Env!
