On July 20th and on August 4th this year Konamiman met with Mr. Kazuhiko Nishi in Japan, and amongst other things, they discussed about the licensing rights of MSX-DOS and Nextor. As a result, Mr. Nishi, on behalf of the MSX Licensing Corporation, granted Konamiman permission to publish the source code of Nextor.
Two months later, after having agreed on the license text and almost exactly ten years after the project began, Nextor has been published as an open source project in GitHub. This allows anyone not only to take a look at the insides of Nextor (and by extension, to the insides of MSX-DOS), but also to contribute by using GitHub's integrated mechanisms for comments, bug reports and pull requests.
Additionally, all of the documentation for Nextor (User manual, Programmers reference and Driver development guide), which was previously distributed as PDF files, has been converted to markdown files inside the code repository. So if you don't feel like contributing to the Nextor code, you can still contribute to the Nextor documentation if you want.
