I remember some guy was going to try and make a windows xp heyuri edition

I tried to do pick that up later but never finished

There were two seperate ideas:

- the one in 2020 by me which was to make an installable XP image with 
  preinstalled Photoshop, Flash, FL Studio, etc. for easy "I can't 
  believe it's not the mid-2000s" OC making, and a simple HTML guide to 
  explain what's on there and what all the applications are for

- a later one where some users were toying around with the idea of 
  making some kind of Heyuri theme for XP (which IMHO defeats the point 
  of using XP in the first place, and is completely unfeasible if it's 
  any more work than making a desktop wallpaper (which of course would 
  render the "XP" part of the project pointless))

I got pretty far with the first one from what I remember, and I still 
have it all set up in a virtual machine, but it was long enough ago now 
that I'd have to relearn a lot to continue with it (;^Д^)

why not drop it on github and make it open source so that other people can contribute to it?

If you're talking about the first one, it's not a script or anything 
like that - it's just a pirated version of Windows XP with a ton of 
warez installed, then using sysprep to turn it into a "resealed" image 
that will start with the usual XP first time setup while still retain-
ing all the installed programs, files, updates, settings, etc.

Not exactly the kind of thing that is welcome on github (;^Д^)

Perhaps not the image, but putting up the html guide on there would make some sense (￣v￣)

It's not exactly something we can collaborate on, so I'd rather make it 
a minisite on Neocities or something than host it on github. I kinda 
haet it when things that aren't free software are hosted on github for 
no good reason

All these trendy "platforms" that everyone uses instead of just making 
a freaking website... it's dumb and it ruins the internet! (;´Д`)

You should look into basing it off of "geekxp", it already has a lot 
setup and Im pretty sure you could theme it out like crazy. I've used
it in a production environment for a few years and it runs great. 
Pretty sure this is the latest version.
