Nope, I thought of it myself. And... I guess many more have already thought
about it before. I didn't see anything like it on your site. Let me
guess... it's not up-to-date, right?

Are you implementing only this or a whole system, with all the other
conceptual stuff which is needed to get a complete system model?

We'll come to that stage... eventually.

What do you think of the possibility to join our forces? An OS is far too
big to be worked on by several small groups in parallell, if they are to
succeed.
