Minoca OS: A new open source operating system
Oh please. You have to start somewhere and this is where they're starting. By comparison, Linus' first announcement was:  Hello everybody out there using minix -
  I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby,
  won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT
  clones.  This has been brewing since april, and is
  starting to get ready.  I'd like any feedback on things
  people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it
  somewhat (same physical layout of the file-system
  (due to practical reasons) among other things).

  I've currently ported bash(1.08) and gcc(1.40),
  and things seem to work.  This implies that I'll get
  something practical within a few months, and

  I'd like to know what features most people would want.
  Any suggestions are welcome, but I won't promise I'll
  implement them :-)

                Linus (torv...@kruuna.helsinki.fi)

  PS.  Yes - it's free of any minix code, and it has a
  multi-threaded fs. It is NOT protable (uses 386 task
  switching etc), and it probably never will support
  anything other than AT-harddisks, as that's all I
  have :-(.

Good luck, guys. Post some docs to read.
