@Odhiambo Point noted. I tend to have a rather uncanny tendency of looking at things via a garbled perspective that the unachievable is achievable. That being said, it is South African. Yes there was Major funding involved which isnt there right now. And disregarding that, all those who would still like to try this project out, let me know. Like Odhiambo said, it's Pro Bono for now.

@Odhiambo, Ubuntu wasn't necessary either according to me but look what happened there.
@Rahim,
Is Ubuntu South African? I am not quite knowledgeable about its origins, although I recall vaguely that the project is bankrolled by that space tourist named Mark Shuttleworth and from records, I can see he injected USD 10m to start with.... Who do you think is likely to banroll KENIX? DJ Chris? :-)
No meaningful work can go on without a definate resource for funding. Developers will only work on a project if their time is compensated for in some way. For any project to succeed, there must be a need that it's supposed to address. What do you see as the "need being addressed" by the introduction of KENIX? I am not "fighting" the idea, but only being realistic.
Well, if this takes off, I will join the documentation team.
