Question about which tools to use, bugs, the best way to implement a function, etc should go here. Don't forget to see if your question is answered in the wiki first! When in doubt post here.
Personally, I just implemented a simple text terminal display output, which together with keyboard input, forms the basis of a simple TTY to use as a console. At the least, you want to implement a simple font renderer, so your kernel can output debug information to the display if required.
