IMHO... Nice idea, the challenge in itself would be good to bring together tech geeks to build something worth it. I've had similar concepts from others as well. A few caveats however... For people to commit requires that an individual sees value return. The most obvious here is financial reward. Good motivator. Otherwise people tend to scatter, you can't keep consistency and without that project may very easily fail. For commitment you also need a centralized controlling team. I'm not suggesting a totally centralized approach as with proprietary dev but I think it is important to have a holding center and then other devs can come and go as they wish. Secondly, why fragment (yet again)??? Why not get a team to work on an existing solid OS? - Ubuntu or PCBSD would be great, both have great direction and have sustainability. Or perhaps a hybrid approach, start something from the ground up, but commit to an existing body of code for whatever problems you solve that are shared with the other OS.

@ Benja It has begun.
1. Lets get a list of people together who are interested 2. Gather information on how to's. 3. If we can get a list of what resources are needed, i can try and pull strings, legs, hands and tongues so that i can try and pool resources.
and lets get a move on.
