Symmetric Multiprocessing on Haiku

Snice waddlesplash uses Markdown for the website, I did a rough conversion of it.

You can see a preview of it ​here

Thanks, Richie!
Yes plain html or markup is required. :)
The right place to submit an atricle also isn't this bugtracker, but the issue tracker at ​https://github.com/haiku/website . Even better would be a pull-request there, as it makes commenting on certain sections of the article easier.

I leave the evaluation of the content to the pros...

I don't particularly see why this article belongs on the Haiku website -- it's extremely technical (we generally post things mostly related to end-users...) and doesn't seem to detail any Haiku-centric functionality? It lists off Haiku's thread APIs, but then goes on to use a semi-custom threading infrastructure that would operate just as well on Linux, *BSDs, etc. with minor tweaks and an API conversion.

Indeed, threading under Haiku and BeOS is much better handled using high level tools such as BHandler and BMessage. No one should be messing directly with threads, unless they are writing an operating system.

The source code on onedrive.live.com probably doesn't help.

Closing as invalid, then.
