I have been holding this point very strongly right since the thread began by my email. let's take this very professionally. because quality means dedication and for dedicated work we need money. and
Let me quote this guy again: "I'm doing a (free) operating system, (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) clones."
Money will come in if your code actually gets deployed.
the only way we can see this through as a successful venture is by having a dedicated team of developers as Abhishek rightly suggests.
You aren't going about this the FOSS way. You are still thinking in the "we need a company and funding" mode. What is needed is slightly ... different. You don't need a team of developers. You need a team of CAs.
We have an application already. The code is out there[1]. Take it, run with it. What Kenneth doesn't have is a CA. So can one or more of the CAs on this list provide input to him on getting things working[2]?
Kenneth, does Python have non wxWidgets bindings? Until more distributions ship wxWidgets natively, that library is a PITA. If not, can someone clone the UI in Gtk2/QT? I know Perl has bindings for both these, so doing that in Perl would be trivial.
(If you are doing it in Gtk2, the XML file generated from Glade2 would be good enough, just use glade2perl2 to generate your UI code from there).
