Oh, no! Not YAFOP (Yet Another Free OS Project)!
Please learn _about_ the many existing FOP, then learn _from_ them,
and only afterwards make a choice of either
joining an existing one that suits your tastes,
or starting a new one but not from scratch (at least conceptually).

Try the following URL, and learn:

Besides, just *what* annoys you with "current operating systems available"?
You don't give a clue on your web page (assuming you have one).
A detailed analysis of what you want and why you don't have it yet
is a prerequisite for any project to get anywhere but at random.

Excuse me, but I've seen better-looking YAFOP-launching hype ;->

Empty site (no code, no ideas, no tools, no nothing).
The fact that your URLs end in .htm promises nothing good,
neither does the fact that you seem proud of DHTML/Javascript!

BTW, any taker for a YAFOP FAQ?
It looks like it would be a good idea...

Having good original ideas is no excuse for not knowing good established ideas.
Your supra-fast turbo engine won't be much good when attached to square wheels.
